Three weeks after an extensive data breach in the Okanagan College servers, the hacking group who accessed the sensitive information has released it to the dark web.

The group, Vice Society, illegally obtained the information on Jan. 9. The data included everything from passwords, to social security numbers, credit card numbers and more, totalling 800 GB.

They followed through with their threats on Jan. 30.

Brett Callow, who first made public the breach via Twitter, is a cybersecurity threat analyst. He confirmed with Capital News that the information has now been released, though he said that he has not accessed the information himself for the sake of the privacy of others.

Okanagan College released their own statement updating the situation on Jan. 30, though did not explicitly say that the data has now been released.
