http://www.courier-journal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080516/NEWS01/80516030/1008 Employee data breached at U of L president's office The University of Louisville recently sent letters to about 20 employees in the president's office alerting them that a security breach may have resulted in their Social Security numbers being compromised. Spokesman John Drees said the university reported the incident, which involved documents being copied and taken from a private office in the president's office, to its Internal Audit Office and Department of Public Safety. An invesitigation is ongoing, he said. The documents contained personal information - including Social Security numbers, student and employee identification numbers and salary information - for current and recent student employees. The university learned of the theft when salary information was shared anonymously with some employees in the office. The letters were sent out April 30, and it recommended employees have a fraud alert placed on their accounts. The employees also were advised to monitor their mail and existing accounts for odd activity. Drees said no employees have reported any suspicious activity as of this morning.
