Stolen University Hard Drive Potentially Exposes Thousands of Records

Posted on March 6, 2018 by Dissent

Robert Rodriguez reports:

The theft of an external hard drive at Fresno State could expose the personal data of at least 15,000 people.

The hard drive was reported missing Jan. 12 and Fresno State officials said some of the files may have contained personal information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, credit card numbers, driver’s license numbers and full or last four digits of Social Security numbers.

Officials said the data could affect former student athletes, sports-camp attendees and Athletic Corporation employees. The vast majority of data files were from 2003 to 2014.
