OPS employees warned of hacker
A computer hacker may have obtained Social Security numbers and other personal information of more than 4,300 current and former Omaha Public Schools employees.
An investigation into the attack on the Omaha School Employees Retirement System website, detected Dec. 21, was unable to determine whether information was stolen, Michael Smith, executive director of the system, said Thursday.
“We have yet to be able to prove to ourselves that they were unsuccessful,” Smith said.The district sent letters to affected employees, warning them to take steps to protect their credit. Smith said the district intends to monitor the situation over the next few months for reports of identity theft, but as of yet he had not heard of any misuse of the information.
