Two employees at East Tennessee State University fell for an email phishing scam and paved the way for a breach at the school.

The breach, which was discovered October 17, could have affected 7,700 people. The school has begun investigating and notifying potential victims.

"[...] Immediately upon discovery, ETSU ITS disabled the employee’s email access, reset the employee’s username and password and commenced an investigation,” the ETSU said in a notification obtained by WHJL.
