Security breach compromises information on 1,400 District 86 grads

Sandy Illian Bosch reports:

A security breach discovered last month at the University of Nebraska involved the names, addresses and Social Security numbers of 1,400 Hinsdale High School District 86 graduates.

The breach involved a computer in the College of Education and Human Sciences at the Lincoln campus. The university’s investigation revealed the computer had not been adequately secured, allowing unauthorized external access to the computer and its information.
