Sacred Heart University is the latest school to be
victimized by hackers, according to a message posted on the
school's Web site.
The university said in
the post that it discovered the intrusion on May 8, and
notified police and the FBI, which have launched
investigations. Sacred Heart offered no details on when the
hackers may have entered the system or the kind of
information that may have been exposed. School officials
could not be reached.
But television news channel WTNH, reported on Thursday that
the school has notified about 135,000 people that their
personal information, including Social Security numbers, may
have been compromised. Some of the people notified,
according to WTNH's report, have never been associated with
Sacred Heart .
