Lansing Community College is only now notifying 174,307 people that their personal data was exposed in a February 2025 breach — more than a year after the fact. The college spotted the intrusion within about a week, but the letters have taken until now. Hackers used compromised credentials to get in, reaching names, addresses, dates of birth, driver's license details and Social Security numbers.

LCC says there's no evidence the data was removed or misused, that other information it holds may also have been caught up, and that what was exposed varies by individual. The Michigan college is offering 24 months of free credit monitoring and identity protection, and says it has tightened its security practices since. No ransomware group has claimed responsibility.
