UMaine loses 600+ student records, SSNs, etc
UMaine’s spokesperson Margaret Nagle has emphasized that university employees are individually responsible for ensuring proper handling and storage of sensitive data whom receive annually required training sessions. Though, the university does not have explicit data-security policies which require encryption nor purging of sensitive data after it is no longer needed. Only three years ago, UMaine suffered the loss of 1,175 student social security numbers when the local campus computer store was breached by hackers in 2012. UMaine plans to notify the affected students and offer them a year of identity theft monitoring protection. [AMAZONPRODUCTS asin=0470498773]]]>
