What was exposed
The register’s list does not say what was exposed; the notice it links to (under Sources) usually does.
Before the notice: the ransomware gang Fog named Lincoln University on its leak site on 22 October 2024, 364 days before this was reported. Matched by the organisation’s name: the notice itself does not say who the attacker was.
Look for Lincoln University’s own notice or letter: it should say what of yours was involved. Keep it.

Expect scams that use your details: calls, texts or emails pretending to be Lincoln University, your bank or the police. Never give codes or passwords, never approve a sign-in you did not start, never move money.
