There’s an update to the JSU breach reported yesterday. William Thornton reports that a juvenile has been arrested by order of the District Court of Calhoun County and is being detained by the Coosa Valley Regional Detention Center.

In a statement JSU officials said that “a peripheral system with limited information was accessed on campus and placed online.”

“The compromised information was the result of an internal security violation and not the result of an external ‘hack,'” the school said.
