ShinyHunters Leak 40GB of University of Nottingham Student Data

### Executive summary The University of Nottingham disclosed that unauthorised actors—attributed to the ShinyHunters group—accessed its Campus Solutions system and exfiltrated roughly 40GB of student data (affecting UK, Malaysia and China campuses), with monitoring services verifying about 455,000 unique email addresses; stolen records reportedly include contact details, student IDs, National Insurance numbers, payment and card data. The university took systems offline, engaged Action Fraud and the ICO, set up student support channels, and faces compounded disruption amid a concurrent staff redundancy dispute.
