Nottingham University Data Breach Affects Over 450,000 Students

The University of Nottingham disclosed a data breach on June 11, 2026 in which an unauthorized actor accessed its student records system, potentially exposing over 450,000 current students and alumni — including names, dates of birth, contact details, student ID and enrollment information and, in some cases, financial aid data. The university has isolated affected systems, notified the ICO, engaged a specialist incident response firm, begun notifying affected individuals, and established a support line while investigations continue.
