CSU Chico Identities Compromised

Posted by Zonk on from the hack-the-cafeteria dept.

MisterFuRR writes "California State University Chico is the latest victim of Identity theft. Aparently one of their "Food Service" machines was cracked and used to distribute "games, files, and other media". An official response is available." From the article: "The names of 15,500 current students, 1,000 faculty, 1,500 staff and former students going back about five years were in a database that was potentially compromised. The files also included information on prospective students."

    Students at CSU Harpo and CSU Groucho breathed a sigh of relief on finding their campuses were not affected. No word at this time on CSU The Man.

    Little Johnny suspected something might have been up when the lunch menu started to refer to today's special as 0-d4y meatloaf

    That's it! I don't care how many bells and whistles the thing has. I'm never going to give my social security number or bank account number to the soft drink machine again!

    The DEA is going to be busy for a while, given, you know, that its CSU Chico.
