An unauthorized person reportedly gained access to Dixie State College's 
computer system and gained access to confidential files, including Social 
Security numbers, birth date information and addresses for some alumni and 
current DSC employees.

The college's Information Technology staff became aware of the incident, 
which took place Sept. 11. No credit card or financial data was 
compromised.

Once DSC officials became aware of the incident, the compromised files, 
which contained approximately 11,000 names of those who graduated or

In addition, law enforcement officials, the Utah State Attorney General's 
Office and the Utah Higher Education Commissioner's office were notified.
