Student Loan Company Data Stolen

[Greta]

<p>I am providing this information as sort of a CC public service announcement, thinking it could be some of your data that was stolen. I looked around the threads a bit first, but did not find any mention of this in the last day or two.</p>

<p>[Student</a> loan company says personal data on 3.3 million people stolen from its headquarters - chicagotribune.com](<a href=“Business News - Chicago Tribune”>http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/sns-ap-us-student-loans-data-theft,0,5814740.story)</p>

<p>

A company that guarantees federal student loans said Friday that personal data on about 3.3 million people nationwide has been stolen from its headquarters in Minnesota.</p>

<p>Educational Credit Management Corp. said the data included names, addresses, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of borrowers, but no financial or bank account information.

<p>it would be good to post which schools/businesses this company deals with, it appears that the data was from loans that were in default or bankruptcy so it will not apply to most people? parents might be freaking out for nothing.</p>
