Personal data of 10,000 Univeristy of Colorado Students Compromised
The University of Colorado at Boulder has recently announced the media that three computers in the Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies were breached, exposing nearly 10,000 people to potential identity theft.
Bronson Hilliard, a spokesman for CU-Boulder, quoted by 9News, said one of the three computers had personal data, including names, Social Security numbers, addresses and grades, of about 9,000 students and approximately 500 instructors.
“The university and I are deeply troubled that this compromise occurred despite efforts under way across campus to address computer security,” stated Chancellor G.P. “Bud” Peterson in a news release. “We will continue and strengthen our security efforts and hold our departments accountable for their success.”
