Data breach hits San Antonio Symphony employees

Posted on February 14, 2017 by Dissent

At first I thought this might be another W-2 phishing incident, but it reads more like a hack. Davi Hendricks reports:

Computer hackers broke into the computer network for the San Antonio Symphony this week, stealing the names, birth dates, social security numbers and addresses for about 250 employees, the organization confirmed Tuesday.

“This was a limited data breach,” said symphony board president David Kinder. “We are developing a strategy to deal with the repercussions. We’re doing everything to prevent harm to the employees.”

The data breach, which is thought to have occurred Monday and was discovered that afternoon, didn’t compromise data for donors, season-ticket holders or other patrons, said symphony President David Gross.
