    Yeah, they'r still investigating how to reproduce.




    D*mn...just got an email today. Don't know whether it was my student records (from the 80's) or my alumni record but apparently my info was compromised. :mad:

    If the school cannot protect the data any better than that then they shouldn't be permitted to keep the records.

    Per an email today, 106,000 of the 197,000 individual records were stolen.

    "If you are a current McCombs faculty or staff member, initial analysis indicates you are included in this number. If you are a current McCombs student or alumnus, there is a very high probability you are included. We are less certain about the risk to others affiliated with McCombs."

    Awesome.

    I called Equifax's Fraud line (800-525-6285) to put a Fraud Alert on my file. It was actually very easy, and all automated. They say they contact the other 2 agencies to put alerts on their reports as well.
