Oh for the love of…
An unprecedented string of electronic intrusions has prompted Ohio University to place at least one technician on paid administrative leave and begin a sweeping reorganisation of the university’s computer services department.Bill Sams, Ohio University’s chief information officer, said he initiated the reorganisation on Friday. The university is reacting to recent discoveries that data thieves compromised at least three campus computer servers.
In a disclosure that hasn’t been widely reported, one of the compromised servers, which held Social Security numbers belonging to 137,000 people, was penetrated by US and overseas-based hackers for at least a year and possibly much longer.
Words escape me.
