Well, not really hacked. But a hard drive with lots and lots of sensitive data is missing.
CSU telling 23,500 they could face identity fraud: Hard drive with data missing from San Marcos.
I don’t see any announcement on the Cal State San Marcos website.

Not a good year for security at local universities.

If you are afraid someone will steal your identity, you should look into
putting a security freeze on your credit history. This is supposed to at least help prevent someone (pretending to be you) from applying for new credit.

I totally forgot we just had a post on freezing your credit report! Thanks for the reminder Ken!

There were 10 million reported cases of ID theft last year, but 80% don’t even report the crime. This is why I am so determined to get everyone protection for ID theft!
