One has been following this hack for a number of weeks since I heard about it on the proverbial grape vein through a friend of a friend. It appears that Cambridge University Press and Assessment may have been hacked by a group called INC Ransomware. Cambridge University Press and Assessments is a world leader in academic publications, with a $500 million turn over. The group claiming to have hacked Cambridge University press is a relative newcomer.

Cambridge university press has heritage that dates back to 1534, making it the oldest publishing house in the world. A research and academic publisher that publishes over 250 research journals. Whose mission is to transform societies through education; drawing on the knowledge, research and networks from across the university and our 50 offices around the world.

Cambridge University press is a rich source of intellectual property and knowledge. One hopes that the attack has not caused to much damage?
