The University of Northern Iowa is contacting students, faculty and staff
who use the Wellness/Recreation Center about a security breach in a
computer server that stored users’ names, addresses and phone numbers.

The breach, discovered Dec. 26, occurred when someone outside UNI stored
large files of music in a hidden folder on the server so that the music
could be accessed from the Internet, said Steve Moon, acting associate vice
president for information technology.

The computer, used for checking users into the recreation center, contained
the names, addresses and phone numbers of students, faculty and staff who
use the facility.
