Apollo Education Group, Inc. was founded in 1973 in response to a gradual shift in higher education demographics from a student population dominated by youth to one in which approximately half the students are adults and over 80 percent of whom work full-time. Apollo's founder, John Sperling, believed -- and events proved him right -- that lifelong employment with a single employer would be replaced by lifelong learning and employment with a variety of employers. Lifelong learning requires an institution dedicated solely to the education of working adults. Today, Apollo Education Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, the University of Phoenix, the College for Financial Planning, and Western International University, has established itself as a leading provider of higher education programs for working adults by focusing on servicing the needs of the working adult. Apollo Education Group is an Equal Opportunity Employer and welcomes diversity.

21 Nov 2025 • Apollo Education Group: University of Phoenix discloses data breach after Oracle hack
University of Phoenix Data Breach via Oracle E-Business Suite Zero-Day Exploit

The University of Phoenix (UoPX) has joined a growing list of U.S. universities breached in a Clop data theft campaign targeting vulnerable Oracle E-Business Suite instances in August 2025. Founded in 1976 and headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, UoPX is a private for-profit university with nearly 3,000 academic staff and over 100,000 enrolled students. The university disclosed the data breach on its official website on Tuesday, while its parent company, Phoenix Education Partners, filed an 8-K form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). UoPX said it detected the incident on November 21 (after the extortion group added it to its data leak site) and noted that the attackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) financial application to steal a wide range of sensitive personal and financial information belonging to students, staff, and suppliers. "We believe that the unauthorized third-party obtained certain personal information, including names and contact information, dates of birth, social security numbers, and bank account and routing numbers with respect to numerous current and former students, employees, faculty and suppliers was accessed without authorization," the school said. "We continue to review the impacted data and will provide the required notifications to affected individuals and regulatory entities. Affected individuals will soon receive a letter via US Mail outlining the details of the incident and next ste
