Ohio University's database has been compromised for over a year, and hackers have had access to the personal data of more than 300,000 alumni and other people.
Included in this data are 137,000 Social Security numbers. This news was just announced by the University yesterday surely making victims furious.
The University is urging anyone that thinks their data was in the compromised database to visit here, or call 1-800-901-2303 for helpful information.
Hackers have also gained access to a separate system that contains research and patent information that the University plans to commercialize. Both cases are under FBI investigation.
