Reports Emerge of Possible Kean University Security Incident
Kean University, a public educational institution in New Jersey offering undergraduate and graduate programs, may have suffered a data breach.
A July 24, 2026 post on dark web monitoring platform Ransomware.live states that hacker group Qilin claimed to be responsible for the alleged attack, which is estimated to have occurred on the same day. HookPhish, another cybersecurity blog, similarly reported that Qilin was behind the possible attack.
