OSU notifying individuals of data security breach

Posted on July 25, 2012 by Dissent

Joce DeWitt reports:

Oregon State Police currently are investigating a security breach by a vendor who, while under contract to Oregon State University, copied information from a check register data base without permission. The action could have compromised the private information of 21,000 students and employees who were associated with OSU between 1996 and 2009.

[…]

The 30,000 to 40,000 checks contained information such as names, OSU ID, date, check number and the amount of the check. Records after 2004 did not include Social Security numbers.
