Ohio University Suspends Two Over Hacker Theft

Background here, here, and here.

An AP newswire article, via ABC News, reports that:

Ohio University said Tuesday it has suspended two information technology supervisors over recent breaches by hackers who may have stolen 173,000 Social Security numbers from school computers.

The school did not identify the director of communications network services identified on the school's Web site as Thomas Reid and manager of Internet and systems. Both were suspended pending the school's investigation of the breaches, five of which have happened since March 2005.

A message was left late Tuesday at a home phone listing for Reid.
