Lansing Community College (LCC) is notifying over 174,000 people that their personal information was compromised in a data breach more than one year ago.
The incident was identified in February 2025, roughly one week after hackers gained access to some of its systems using compromised credentials, the Lansing, Michigan public community college says in notification letters sent to the impacted individuals.
Working with third-party cybersecurity experts, LCC determined that the hackers accessed personal information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license details, and Social Security numbers.
Other personal information provided to LCC might have been impacted as well, but the affected data varies by individual, the educational institution says.
“Not every affected individual had the same types of information involved. Importantly, we have no evidence at this time that any of your information was removed from our systems or misused,” LCC’s notification letter reads.
The community college informed the Maine Attorney General’s Office that 174,307 individuals were affected by the data breach. The institution is providing them with 24 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection services.
LCC also says that, in addition to containing and resolving the incident, it has improved its security practices to prevent similar incidents.
The public community college has not shared details on the threat actor responsible for the incident, and SecurityWeek has not seen any known ransomware groups claiming responsibility.
