Princeton University faced a security incident on November 10, 2025, when outside attackers gained access to a database managed by the University Advancement department. The compromised database contained personal information of alumni, donors, faculty members, and others, although it did not hold sensitive data like Social Security numbers or financial information. The breach was contained within 24 hours, and the university partnered with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement for investigation.
Notifications were sent to potentially affected individuals on November 15, advising them to remain vigilant against phishing attempts. Security teams identified some service disruptions on university systems; however, it remains unconfirmed if these were linked to the breach. Princeton officials set up a dedicated information page for inquiries related to the incident. Continuous updates are being provided as forensic analysis progresses, but the exact nature of the data accessed by attackers is still being evaluated.
