FMU Cyber Breach by INC Ransomware

Florida Memorial University (FMU), South Florida’s only historically Black college or university, has reportedly fallen victim to a cybersecurity breach orchestrated by the ransomware group known as INC Ransom. Details regarding the extent of the compromised data remain uncertain, with the university yet to release an official statement regarding the breach. INC Ransom has brazenly confirmed the attack on FMU by posting a ‘proof pack’ on their website, showcasing scans of sensitive documents allegedly sourced from the university’s databases, including passports, Social Security numbers, and contractual documents.

Despite FMU’s standing as a National Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense, the attack serves as a sobering reminder of the pervasive threats posed by ransomware groups targeting educational institutions. INC Ransom, identified as a growing threat since mid-2023, has gained notoriety for its aggressive tactics, including data theft and publicizing stolen information if ransom demands are not met. The incident underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures within the education sector, particularly as cyber threats continue to evolve in sophistication and frequency.

While FMU has yet to officially confirm the cyberattack, students and staff are urged to take proactive steps to safeguard their personal information and accounts. Recommendations include updating passwords, monitoring account activities for suspicious transactions, and remaining vigilant against phishing attempts. The breach highlights the importance of ongoing cybersecurity education and awareness efforts to mitigate risks and protect sensitive data from malicious actors.
