Alexandria University data of 30,000 students claimed leaked

Overview

A DarkForums thread from 5 July 2025 claims the leak of more than 30,000 records from Alexandria University in Egypt. The poster, a moderator of a group called SYLHET GANG, says the data contains sensitive information including national IDs, full names, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and university codes.

What was published

The post provides a download link to an archive and shows a sample of the dataset with fields such as student name, college code, phone, national ID, birth date, governorate, and examination grades. The thread has since been removed from the forum.

Risks for affected individuals

Records with national IDs, addresses, and phone numbers of students enable identity theft, fraud, and targeted phishing. The national ID field is particularly sensitive in Egypt, where it is used across government and financial services.

What remains unknown

The thread was deleted, so the download could not be verified. The total record count and the exact scope of the dataset are unconfirmed, and Alexandria University has not publicly commented.

What affected people should do

Students and alumni of Alexandria University should monitor for identity misuse and be cautious with unsolicited messages. They should report suspected fraud involving their national ID to the authorities.
