TFTH is an educational support platform that assists university and college students with assessments, helps find student accommodation and more. The company provided very little information as to the nature of the incident, but it is alleging that it will leak exfiltrated data after eight days at the time of writing.

It is currently unclear what data, if any, has actually been exfiltrated. TFTH is yet to publish a statement.
