BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota University System computer server that stores personal information on students, staff and faculty has been hacked, but nothing appears to have been compromised, Interim Chancellor Larry Skogen said Wednesday.
The security breach was discovered on Feb. 7, and the server was immediately locked down, Skogen told reporters on a teleconference.
Skogen said personal information — including Social Security numbers — of more than 290,000 current and former students and about 780 faculty and staff were on the server. North Dakota has 11 public colleges, including six four-year universities and five two-year schools.
"There is no evidence that the intruder accessed any of your information, but we can't rule out the possibility," Skogen said in a letter released to students, faculty and staff on Wednesday.
