A nightmare-scenario identity theft case has hit Butler University – with nearly 163,000 students’, staffs’ and alumni names, birthdays, social security numbers and bank account information possibly exposed to hackers.
Fox 59 reports:
A letter went to people who earned a degree at Butler dating back as far as the 1980s, informing them of the data breach. In total, 163,000 people may have had their information compromised.
The letter says, “We have determined that files containing your name, date of birth, Social Security number, and bank account information were accessible to the hacker(s) during this time period.”
The university has offered to buy everyone who received the letter a one-year membership to an identity theft protection company, Fox reports.
