NC: Book Store Security Breach Causing Financial Aid Problems For Some ECU Students

Posted on February 2, 2011 by Dissent

Fraudulent charges linked to a breach at the University Book Exchange near East Carolina University continue to show up and the number of irate comments start to pile up. WITN follows up on a breach they reported last week.

Almost a month after a security breach was recognized and fixed at a local bookstore near East Carolina University, unauthorized charges are still posting to some students’ accounts. One student says that’s a problem because he’s temporarily losing financial aid money.

Andrew Boyd says he bought his books from University Book Exchange in early January and says on Sunday, he noticed three unauthorized charges for about $200 on his ECU Higher One card, which he used to buy his books with.

Read more on WITN and see the comments under their earlier report.
