Abstract
Antioch University announced that it discovered that an unknown individual(s) had gained unauthorized access at least three times last year to a computer system containing the personal information of current and former students and staff. The breached system contained the names, Social Security numbers, academic reports and payroll documents of 70,000 current and former students, faculty and staff members going back to 1996. The server was taken offline and university officials continue to examine computer security to ensure there are no further vulnerabilities. The university is currently sending out letters to the affected individuals.
