Computer Security Incident
While investigating a computer server sending spam e-mail messages, the Information Technology Security Office at San Diego State University discovered computer intruders had circumvented departmental server security and gained illegal access to a file server in the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships.
The initial investigation revealed that the intruders had used the server for file transfers (including MP3 music files) in addition to sending spam e-mail. The illegal entry also gave the intruders the opportunity to view various Financial Aid reports stored on this server. The compromised server was not the Financial Aid database, which means the intruders did not have access to aid application or award data. However, some of the reports and files stored on this system included the names and Social Security numbers for more than 178,000 individuals. ---
No word on whether USD or our local community colleges have had breaches yet.
