Montana State University security experts have determined that an unknown
hacker remotely accessed a computer server that housed records containing
credit card numbers and social security numbers of students who enrolled
online for MSU Extended University courses during the last two years.

The data in question were encrypted, and there is no evidence that personal
information was stolen. However, the Extended University is sending
information by mail to 1,400 people known to have personal information on
the server. The letter includes information on how to receive a free credit
report, flag a credit file with a fraud alert and monitor accounts for
suspicious activity.
