Re: unreported on news data breach

["Al" <macwheel99 () wowway com>]

Or maybe it was this OTHER story in RISKs.

Information on 3.3 million college students with loans through ECMC was
stolen in a burglary of the ECMC offices in Minnesota.  It's not clear from
the report whether the thieves targeted the storage device (described as
"portable media with personally identifiable information"), or whether that
was incidental to a theft of other equipment.

Did I hear yesterday a HUGE (millions, like 3.5 if I remember right)

I hadnt seen anything here, perhaps someone here had more info.
Thanks
