Computer at University of Northern Iowa Hacked
Erin Jordan writes in The Des Moines Register:
The University of Northern Iowa is contacting students, faculty and staff who use the Wellness/Recreation Center about a security breach in a computer server that stored users’ names, addresses and phone numbers.More here.
The breach, discovered Dec. 26, occurred when someone outside UNI stored large files of music in a hidden folder on the server so that the music could be accessed from the Internet, said Steve Moon, acting associate vice president for information technology.
The computer, used for checking users into the recreation center, contained the names, addresses and phone numbers of students, faculty and staff who use the facility.
