Hackers gained access to 22,396 names and Social Security numbers, the University of Missouri announced Tuesday.
The names and Social Security numbers belong to people who were employed anywhere in the entire University of Missouri system in 2004, and only affects those employees who were also current or former students at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
The hackers were traced to IP addresses in China and Australia. Anyone who may be affected by this incident may call the school at 866-241-5619 or 573-884-7222. There is also a university website where more information is posted. It appears that it is up to the individual to closely monitor their own credit and setup fraud alerts.
