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."

    I wonder if CSU Chico was using the Oracle Datbase system to house all the students, staff, and faculty's information.
    Anyone else know?

    Shouldn't that read "latest victim of their own stupidity"?
