"Hackers Hit Georgia Tech and Steal Personal Info" - Atlanta Business Chronicle (02/21/07)

Unauthorized access to a Georgia Tech computer by unknown sources may have exposed personal information for about 3,000 current and former Georgia Tech employees, the university reported on Feb. 21. The sensitive information included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and about 400 state purchasing card numbers. The majority of affected individuals are in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, according to the university. Individuals affected by the incident are being contacted by the university as a precautionary measure, and no misuse of information from the compromised computer has been detected by Georgia Tech. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the FBI have been notified, and Georgia Tech has said they will work with affected individuals to mitigate their exposure and continue the investigation.
