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."

    The summary above is not quite correct. The linked article actually states, "...someone had broken into a computer server at the university's housing and food service center last July", not a vending machine.
