Lorain County Community College Hacked

FBI are investigating the computer servers a Lorain County Community College after receiving information that a sophisticated hacker broke into the servers during the Thanksgiving holiday break.

On the computer servers were the records of some 22,000 students of the college, and also included the information of community users, employees, and the college library card system.

The Lorain County Community College notified all of those affected by letter, notifying them of how important it is to sign up for credit monitoring services and to receive a recent copy of their credit reports.

Investigators believe that the hacking of the servers was just for fun by hacking hobbyists, and they do not believe the information has been misused. As a precaution, they urge those possibly affected to be aware of their personal information and how it is being used.
