Data Breach Alert: Thousands of Dominican University students impacted in secure file breach

Posted by Joe on May 15th, 2008

About 5,000 current and former students of Dominican University in Chicago were alerted late last month due that their personal information may have been breached as a result of a digital break-in of secure files by two current students. The school had held off on publicly announcing the breach until now in order to help minimize the overall impact of the breach but all impacted individuals were notified of the identity theft risk immediately.

School officials believe it was an isolated incident and there have been no reports of the compromised data being misused in any way. The school recommended that impacted individuals contact the three major credit bureaus and place fraud alerts on their credit reports. We discussed the difference between fraud alerts and credit freezes in our recent guide to fraud alerts and credit freezes.
