University of Copenhagen Hit by Second Cyberattack in Days

The University of Copenhagen shut down several administrative systems on Monday.

This follows a second cyberattack within just a few days.

The situation directly affects students and staff using university digital tools.

A previous breach exposed personal data of about 525,000 people.

Exposed information included CPR numbers, full names, phone numbers, and emails.

The university confirmed the latest attack on its official website.

It reported major disruptions to administrative systems on Monday evening.

Users also faced difficulties accessing university websites during the evening.

Officials have not provided further details about Monday's attack yet.

Denmark's education minister expressed serious concern over the repeated incidents.

Christina Egelund summoned leaders from all eight Danish universities on Monday.

Other schools like Technical University of Denmark faced attacks recently too.

Aarhus University was also targeted in recent weeks by cyber incidents.

Minister Egelund said universities are a crucial pillar of Danish society.

Cybersecurity experts noted universities store vast research and personal data.

Their high public profile also increases exposure to cyber threats.

Targets include cybercriminals, foreign states, and activist groups.
