The Institute of Culinary Education reported a data security incident to the California Attorney General’s office on October 7, 2025. Unfortunately, the official notification letter filed with regulators was submitted as a scanned image, so no readable text could be extracted from it. That means we can’t yet tell you exactly what happened, how it happened, or which systems were involved. If you received a letter directly from the Institute, that letter is the most reliable source of specifics right now, and we’d encourage you to hold onto it.
