UConn Finds Rootkit in Hacked Server

Already mentioned here this past Sunday (June 26), a few more details are available in an article by Ryan Naraine on eWeek:

The University of Connecticut has detected a rootkit on one of its servers, almost two years after the stealth program was placed there by malicious hackers.

The rootkit was found on a server that contains names, social security numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers and addresses for most of the university's 72,000 students, staff and faculty, university officials confirmed Monday.
