Nick Perry of The Seattle Times reports that 6,000 University of Washington employees were notified last week that their names and Social Security numbers were on a computer system that was hacked.
At least two parking-management computer servers were hacked starting around Dec. 6 last year. The university recognized that the servers had been compromised by December 30, but it took them until the end of February or beginning of March to complete a forensics investigation.
