| The hacker just sent some crude spam emails from a variety of Graduate School of Education accounts to the entire Penn community (including alumni of other schools). There is no direct threat to anyone. |

| I think that they stated they're going to release admissions data showing how UPenn is "unmeritocratic". |

It was a hack of the email system so they could send out the email, but not a true hack of the internal systems.
