Antioch University: June 2007 Data Breach Made Public in March 2008

There is another data breach at an educational institution:

“YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio—A computer system at Antioch University that contained personal information on about 70,000 people was breached by an unauthorized intruder three times last year, the school said Friday.”

The data breach involves all that is necessary for identity theft. Names and social securities numbers were compromised. What is confusing is that these “breaches occurred on June 9, June 10 and Oct. 11″. These incidents are made public today, March 28, 2008.

The delay is baffling.
