As of Monday 103 people who work for Randolph have reported a recent case of identity theft.

DataBreaches.net emailed Randolph College to inquire whether the program is associated with either of two vendors that have been linked to breaches at other entities, and will update this post if more information becomes available.
Note, Tuesday morning: in light of other reports coming out subsequently, this may be a third vendor.
Update: A Randolph spokesperson informs DataBreaches.net that the vendor was Greenshades, who previously denied any breach of their system (but were allowing employees to login using date of birth and SSN because, they claim, their clients clamored for such easy logins).
