Again and again. Ohio University had social security numbers and other private information stolen off its servers. Was the data encrypted? I doubt it since it was not mentioned in the article. 137,000 people were affected.
We here at mysecurepc.com have always advocated: no school, whether it’s kindergarten or a university, has any reason to have your social security number. None. I know several people who have gone to university classes without giving a social security number, myself included.
