Abstract
The University of Virginia was the victim of multiple computer thefts recently. A computer stolen from one of UVa's academic buildings contained student information, including Social Security numbers. According to university officials, it appears the thieves were after computer equipment and not the data on the hard drives. However, UVa is urging affected students to closely monitor their credit reports for signs of fraud.
