Northwestern discloses data breach

EVANSTON, Ill., July 14 (UPI) -- Northwestern University, of Evanston, Ill., says nine desktop computers containing personal identification information were illegally accessed.
The university said it has no indication that the files, which contain the information of up to 17,000 students, were accessed or even noticed by unauthorized people, who accessed the computers from outside the university. It said the computers were shut down as soon as technical support personnel noticed the security breach.
Although the school does not believe the information was accessed, it said it is notifying individuals whose data were at risk. The university has recommended that people who have provided their Social Security numbers to the University's Office of Admission and Financial Aid check for irregularities on credit card reports and follow precautions to prevent identity theft.
