Hackers access two computer servers containing database of Connecticut College

Two computer servers containing a database of Connecticut College, Wesleyan University and Trinity College library patrons were accessed by hackers, Connecticut College officials said Friday.

The database included the names, addresses, social security and driver’s license numbers of an estimated 2,800 Connecticut College library patrons.

“We are taking this matter very seriously,” Patricia Carey, vice president for College Relations, said. “We are encouraging those affected to take preventive measures to protect their identity, and as an added precaution, we are offering those affected one year of identity protection services from Debix Identity Protection Agency at the expense of the CTW Consortium.”
