Abstract
The University of North Carolina School of the Arts is working to notify current and former students about a computer breach that may have exposed personal information. The server, which went on line in 2003, contained the names and Social Security numbers of about 2,700 students enrolled between 2003 and 2006. The breach occurred in May 2006 and, according to officials, the school became aware of the breach last week. UNCSA staff is working to investigate the breach and are conducting tests to ensure the future safety of personal information.
