Chronicle of Higher Education Data Breach

May 13th, 2020

The Chronicle of Higher Education announced that their user database had been compromised on February 17, 2020.  The information taken included usernames and hashed and salted passwords from users who had accounts on chronicle.com, philanthropy.com, and chroniclevitae.com.

A major reason for concern is that The Chronicle of Higher Education is a very popular website in the academic community. If you have an account related to The Chronicle of Higher Education (chronicle.com, philanthropy.com, or chroniclevitae.com) we highly recommend resetting your password on their website.
