## What happened

According to Have I Been Pwned, in June 2026 Glendale Community College was targeted by a ShinyHunters extortion campaign. The threat actors threatened to publish stolen data unless paid. When the demand was not met, the data was released online.

The college published a disclosure notice on its website acknowledging the incident and noting that the scope of exposed information may vary by individual.

## What was exposed

According to HIBP, the leaked data included names, email addresses, physical addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, genders, government-issued IDs, Social Security numbers, and academic enrollment records. The college noted that not every affected person had all data types exposed.

## Who is affected

Nearly 794,000 individuals are affected, reported by HIBP. The exposed records relate primarily to students and likely include current and former enrollees of Glendale Community College.

## What to do now

If you have ever enrolled at or interacted with Glendale Community College, assume your personal information may be compromised. Place a credit freeze with all three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Monitor your credit reports and financial accounts for unusual activity. Be alert to phishing attempts using your personal details. If your Social Security number was exposed, consider enrolling in an identity theft protection service.
