The hackers have threatened to release sensitive data if schools do not negotiate with them by the end of May 12th. The incident has forced several universities, including Baylor, Harvard, Columbia, Penn State, and Kentucky, to push back exams and projects. Schools are urged to be vigilant against phishing scams and to stay informed about updates from their institutions, as the situation may impact grades and schedules for weeks to come.
