Three North Dakota University System IT employees put on administrative leave for data breach

Posted on August 21, 2014 by Dissent

An update to a breach previously noted on this blog.

Anna Burlson reports:

Three North Dakota University System employees who dealt in IT security have been put on administrative leave following a massive security breach last winter.

The personal information of more than 290,000 current and past NDUS students was vulnerable for four months before the hack was noticed Feb. 7. Several agencies looked into the security breach and found that the hacked server was most likely used as a “launch pad” for an overseas entity to access other servers.
