More Social Security numbers leaked at MSU

For the third time this semester hackers have accessed private information at Montana State University.

MSU officials say that 271 people may have had their Social Security numbers exposed in a data security breach that happened last Friday. According to staff, on the same day, a data storage device was stolen and an Excel spreadsheet was found on the MSU web site.

Both contained the names and social security numbers of MSU students and employees so the web site was removed.
