Answer at a glance
What happened in the Glendale Community College data breach?
Glendale Community College says it was notified of a potential cybersecurity incident on June 16, 2026, isolated and secured its network, and engaged third-party specialists.
GCC says certain data related to student educational records was potentially copied without authorization. Have I Been Pwned separately says data was later published online in a ShinyHunters pay-or-leak campaign and lists 793,925 unique email addresses.
The official notice and the HIBP entry describe overlapping but not identical data categories. The information involved for any particular person must be determined from that person's notice and other reliable records.
This is an investigation, not a filed lawsuit by Hall Attorneys. Facts may change as organizations, regulators, courts, or security researchers publish additional information.
Date assigned to the indexed breach
Have I Been Pwned assigns June 15 as the breach date for its verified Glendale Community College dataset entry.
College notified and responds
GCC says it learned of the incident, secured its network, and engaged third-party specialists to contain and investigate the activity.
California notice submitted
The California Attorney General lists GCC's breach notification, which describes potentially copied student records and an offer of complimentary monitoring and identity protection.
Breach added to Have I Been Pwned
HIBP added a verified entry listing 793,925 unique email addresses and eight compromised data categories.
Reported data categories
What information was involved?
GCC's notice and the HIBP dataset entry provide different views of the incident. Both should be read carefully because no source establishes that every category applied to every student.
Important distinction
GCC says a person's potentially affected data may include only one or all listed types. GCC also says it did not have reason to believe personally identifiable employee data was compromised.
- GCC notice — identity
- Name, Social Security number, driver's license number, or passport number
- GCC notice — student data
- Financial-aid information or health-related information
- HIBP — account and profile
- Email addresses, dates of birth, genders, names, phone numbers, and physical addresses
- HIBP — education and IDs
- Academic records and government-issued IDs
