Reporting stated that Lehigh Carbon Community College in Pennsylvania suffered a data breach that forced the college to close all campuses for more than a week in early March 2026.

A trustee publicly attributed the closures to a data breach, but the college did not disclose a threat actor, entry vector, or specific data types in the public reporting cited.
