RN🚨🚨So basically it’s not a big data leak as of such nor it is a direct fault of the University.
It’s just that some internal documents and the tests which were conducted in the first year of college and a few others were uploaded on Scribd. This is as far as I know
But according to news,
It wasn’t a hack—it was a mistake. Thousands of VIT student records are currently indexed on Google and Scribd.
The Intel:
Students (or coordinators) likely uploaded internal Excel sheets to Scribd to unlock free downloads. Now, documents containing Names, Reg Nos, Email IDs, and Placement Shortlists for the 2025 batch are public.
Why it matters:
Your Reg No. + Email is enough for targeted phishing scams or fake recruiter emails. 🎣
Your Move:
1️⃣ Search: Google your “Reg No.” + “VIT” inside quotation marks.
2️⃣ Scrub: If your data pops up on Scribd, file a privacy takedown request immediately.
3️⃣ Secure: Be suspicious of any “Job Offer” emails that don’t come from the official CDC domain.
