<p>Yes, further reading, and again it isn’t known yet, and probably we will never be told who stole it, seems Russia and China are well known for doing this at the University level, was a recent NYT article on it.
I work with protected information and knowing the levels of security within my organization, they dropped the ball on this one, the potential for massive identity fraud from what was taken is astronomical. Surprised it hasn’t made national news, at least if it had been on the national news the former students could avail of the identity theft services. I doubt 3 years of monitoring will be enough.</p>
