University of Central Florida Hack Exposes 63,000 SSN


A hack of the University of Central Florida's computer systems has exposed the private data of roughly 63,000 current and former students, staff and faculty members, the university announced on Thursday.

Law enforcement and a digital forensics firm are investigating the intrusion, which was detected in January, UCF President John C. Hitt said in a statement.
