6,000 University of Washington employees’ personal information on hacked servers

Posted on April 6, 2009 by Dissent

Nick Perry of The Seattle Times reports that 6,000 University of Washington employees were notified last week that their names and Social Security numbers were on a computer system that was hacked.

At least two parking-management computer servers were hacked starting around Dec. 6 last year. The university recognized that the servers had been compromised by December 30, but it took them until the end of February or beginning of March to complete a forensics investigation.
