Security Breach For Faculty of the University of Virginia

According to a recent press release, the University of Virginia has suffered a massive security breach. Investigators believe hackers accessed a database with sensitive faculty information on 54 different occasions between May of 2005 and April of 2007. The information for more than 5 thousand current and former faculty members has been compromised, and the information included Social Security numbers and dates of birth. No student or non-faculty employee records were exposed.

This issue is under investigation, and currently no suspects have been identified. For more information, check out the link above to the University's press release.
