Cowley County Community College Data Breach Impacts Idaho Students

Cowley County Community College has reported a significant data breach affecting its digital network and data storage infrastructure. While the full scope and cause of the incident remain under investigation, this breach in Idaho has potentially compromised a wide array of personal and academic details belonging to students, faculty, and staff.

The exposed information includes Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Student ID Number, Parent or Guardian Information, Financial Aid Records, Transcript and Academic Records, and Banking and Direct Deposit Details. Such a broad compromise of sensitive identifiers and financial information creates a substantial risk of identity theft, fraudulent financial activity, and other personal exploitation for affected individuals.
