Baptist University reviews IT security after ransomware group claims breach

Baptist University has said it is reviewing the security of its information technology (IT) systems after a ransomware group claimed online to have illegally accessed the Hong Kong institution’s data.

The allegations were made by “The Gentlemen”, an advanced cybercrime group that first appeared in the middle of last year.

The purported data reportedly included roughly 130 staff accounts, about 1,770 other user accounts and 260 third‑party employee credentials.
