Identity Theft: 65,000 UCF SSN

If you’re the not so lucky University of Central Florida Sentinels past/current study or staff, you will be receiving notice today of a Social Security Number security breach.  Records also included student IDs, class studies and their sports - including 600 student-athletes of 2014-2015.  Apparently access shown to occur on Jan. 8 and realization of breach occurred on Jan. 15, but release notification held due to investigations and work with law enforcement.  It’s suggested that hack resulted from multiple individuals, and phishing is suspected but not confirmed.  While no evidence indicated thus far that the information has been published or used/exploited, free 1-year credit reporting and services is being offered as a result of the mishap.
Recall other notable other higher education breach: University of Maryland and North Dakota University with 300,000, Auburn University with 370,000 and Butler University with 163,000 records...
