In a notice on its website, the Colorado Department of Higher Education (CDHE) confirmed it experienced a ransomware incident that saw hackers access and copy data from its systems between June 11 and June 19.
The CDHE did not say how many people are affected by the ransomware attack, but likely encompasses a large number of individuals.
The department said it plans to notify those affected, and all of those impacted are being offered two years of identity theft protection services.
Colorado has suffered a spate of ransom attacks in recent weeks.
Colorado State University (CSU) confirmed last month that the Clop ransomware gang had stolen sensitive personal information belonging to current and former students and employees during the recent MOVEit mass-hacks.
The same hackers targeted Colorado’s Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, which said that personal identifiable information of those enrolled in Colorado’s Medicaid program or child health plan may have been compromised.
