University computer technicians from the Flint and Ann Arbor campuses are working with the Flint office of the FBI to determine who was responsible for the unauthorized access. The hack was discovered Dec. 6 and university officials said it is still unknown what data might have been compromised. The breach was contained shortly after it was found, said university spokesperson Jen Hogan. Staff, students and faculty were told about the situation via an e-mail from the university on Thursday. Hogan said periodic password changes had already been suggested before the hack was discovered. "It's always a good idea," said Hogan. It was unknown how many computers had access to the servers and no further information has been released. __________________________________________________________________ Visit InfoSec News http://www.infosecnews.org/
