Personal info, SSNs of 475,000 Exposed in Data Breach at 2 Universities
Quote:A 25-year-old San Diego man has been charged with hacking into the University of Southern California's online application system and nabbing personal data from prospective students...

Michael Zweiback, an assistant U.S. attorney in the cybercrimes and intellectual property unit, said that the case reflects a growing trend among hackers.

"Universities are becoming bigger and bigger targets to the hacker community because they are large institutions...and hackers always want to see if they can beat the technical people on the other side," Zweiback said...

Personal data of 180,000 Western Illinois University Students, Alumni Breached
Another large university security breach:

Quote:Western Illinois University is notifying more than 180,000 people that their personal data is at risk after hackers entered its networks...
Quote:Perhaps one of the strongest indicators of the level of security at U.S. universities is that even after a string of major breaches at such places as Ohio University, Notre Dame University and the University of Texas, hackers continue to find their way into college computer systems.
