UNAM Confirms Cyber Intrusion in Five Systems, Reports No Signs of Data Theft

After a first review, the university reports no evidence of personal‑data theft, describing the incident as limited.

Overview

  • UNAM’s DGTIC says unauthorized access was detected during the vacation period in five of more than 100,000 institutional systems.
  • The affected systems were disabled and incident‑response protocols were activated as part of a containment and preliminary forensic review.
  • Officials state there are no indications that databases holding student, academic, or administrative personal information were extracted.
  • The university is coordinating with local and federal cybersecurity authorities to file legal complaints and continue the investigation.
  • Separately, reporting cites ByteToBreach claims of a far broader breach and data offered for sale, along with earlier 2025 warnings and a cited Next.js vulnerability, but those allegations remain unverified and are denied by UNAM.
