Authorities investigating hacking of University of Virginia website

The University of Virginia’s website was hacked Monday night, The Daily Progress in Charlottesville reported.

People who were trying to access the university’s homepage at that time saw a hacking group’s logo instead.

A group called Root The Box has claimed that it is behind the incident and that it will release sensitive data that it accessed at a later date. But university officials told The Daily Progress that sensitive and confidential information was not compromised.

Campus police have asked the FBI to help them investigate the hacking.
