Carnegie Mellon Says Computers Breached

maotx writes "Carnegie Mellon University is warning more than 5,000 students, employees and graduates that their Social Security numbers and other personal information may have been accessed during a breach of the school's computer network. What makes this one even more interesting compared to other recent break-ins is that CMU is home to the famous CERT."

    Many hackers make the classic blunder of telling everyone and taking out ads on TV and radio. Obviously these ones are sneakier than that.
