As reported recently, Ohio University's database has been compromised for over a year giving hackers access to the personal data of as many as two to three hundred thousand people, mainly alumni.
So far a total of three breaches have been discovered, and there isn't much doubt that others will be found. CNET explains:
Last month, the FBI alerted the university's administration that a server within the school's Technology Transfer Department had been compromised. Little personal information was believed to be lost in that breach, but a second breach was found three days later on April 24...
On Thursday, the school announced that it had found a third intrusion at its health center involving 60,000 people including all current students as well as some school faculty.
Intruders would have gained access to social security numbers and health records of these people.
More information is available at the University's website.
