6,000+ employee SSNs in California State University website breach

The web server in question was apparently for extended learning management information and various employment transaction records.  While no financial, medical, nor academic information was included, it is assumed that a malicious software tool was used to extract duplicates of names, addresses, approximately over 600 birth dates, and 6,035 Social Security numbers from a data file. CSU is in the process of distributing written notification and an offer of 1 year of credit monitoring to the affected individuals]]>
