Sogang University in Seoul came under a cyberattack, and some 180,000 pieces of personal information of students and school officials were leaked, the school said Saturday.

The school said it has confirmed circumstances where some information was leaked due to an unidentified outside attack on its integrated login account information. Leaked information includes student numbers, names, affiliations, mobile phone numbers and passwords.

The school has blocked the IP address used in the attack and taken other emergency measures, officials said.
