BOULDER, Colo. - Hackers are trying to extort the University of Colorado after a cyberattack that potentially compromised personal information from more than 310,000 files, including student data, medical information and several Social Security numbers, university officials said Friday.
The attackers have posted small amounts of data on the internet and are threatening to post more if they are not paid, The Boulder Daily Camera reported.
âThe university does not intend to do so, following guidance from the FBI,â a university news release said. âPaying would not ensure that data is not posted, now or in the future, or that there would not be additional demands.â

As of Monday, there is no statewide program for vaccine passports, the Denver Post reported.
“While we are exploring what’s working in other states, anything we do will be specific to Colorado and our needs,” a spokesperson for the state Department of Public Health and Environment said in an email. “A business could not access a customer’s protected health information, such as their COVID-19 immunization status, unless that person volunteered that information.”
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said last Friday that any potential vaccine passports would be primarily directed by private businesses.
