The university’s Director of Public Information and Transparency (KIP) Office, Amelita Lucia, said they had received many questions regarding the data breach report.
“According to the report, the data leak includes personal information such as registration numbers, identity card numbers, names, place of birth, date of birth, gender, height, weight, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, educational background and employment history,” Amelita said when confirmed on Friday, July 19, 2024.

“So far, there is no indication that any data stored in UI’s systems has been compromised, including data from the Independent Learning Centres that were photographed on social media platforms,” she said.
