The compromised data included subscriber and dependent names, but no Social Security numbers, officials said.
STANFORD — The personal information of some Stanford University employees and postdoctoral students, along with their dependents, was stolen in a data breach earlier this year, officials said.
In a statement Thursday, Brightline said one of its vendors, Forta, which provides file transfer services, detected suspicious activity within its software on Jan. 30. An investigation by Forta “identified unauthorized access to and acquisition of data from certain customers’ accounts,” including Brightline’s, according to the statement.
After learning about the data breach on Feb. 4, Brightline said it immediately put its emergency response plan in motion and confirmed that the unauthorized access was terminated.
