California University Employees at Risk for Identity Theft Due to Computer Virus

A sophisticated computer virus was found on a computer at Humboldt State University, which left the personal data of approximately 3,500 past employees of the school at risk for identity theft.

The virus, which is utilized to steal log in information from the computer, allows access to outsiders, thus leaving the Social Security numbers and other personally identifiable information of employees who worked between 2002 and 2006.

It is encouraged that those who have worked for the Humboldt State University sign up for credit monitoring services to ensure that their data and financial security is safe and secure, and to watch for unusual activities on their accounts.
