Conversation: Hackers threaten to leak data after breaching University of Pennsylvania to send mass emails Crunch
A: Hey there! Did you hear about the news from Penn?
B: Nah, what's going on?
A: It looks like some hackers are causing trouble! They sent emails pretending to be from the university, saying they have bad security practices and don't care about fairness.
B: Wow, that sounds serious! Did they say anything else?
A: Yeah, they threatened to leak all our data and said they want to stop us from giving money to the school. It seems like they're trying to suppress donations.
B: That's nasty... I wonder why they're doing this.
A: Well, it could be related to a recent thing where Penn turned down an offer from the White House for funding if we followed their rules about hiring and admissions. They wanted us to get rid of affirmative action and other stuff like that.
B: Oh, I see... So these hackers might be supporting that cause then?
A: Seems so, yeah. They even made some harsh comments against the university in their email. But Penn's spokesperson said it's a fake message and nothing in it reflects our values or actions.
B: That's good to hear! Let's hope they catch these guys soon.
A: Definitely, I hope so too. It's important that we keep our school safe and secure.
