IL: Security breach affects 46 employees, family members at Columbia College Chicago

Posted on March 12, 2018 by Dissent

Molly Wash, a campus reporter, reports that Share Point may have shared too much, but it’s not clear to me from the report how this happened.

A data security breach resulted in the disclosure of the names and Social Security numbers of Columbia employees and their family members on IRIS, the college’s internal website.

The college learned Feb. 15 that SharePoint, the search portal application used to apply for the Tuition Exchange Program, a college employee benefit, displayed the personal information, according to a March 2 email sent out to those affected by Senior Vice President of Business Affairs and CFO Jerry Tarrer.
