San Francisco College May Have Been Victim of Security Leak for Over a Decade

It has recently been discovered that a computer virus at City College of San Francisco has quite possibly been stealing personal information of thousands of students, staff, and other individuals who may have used the computers at the school’s computer lab.

The computer virus has been key-logging and transmitting information to various countries, such as Russia and China. This may have allowed credit card numbers, passwords, and other personal information of computer users to be submitted to individuals who are using the information for identity theft. It is believed that this virus may have been on the computers for over ten years, which means that thousands of individuals could be affected by this.

The computer lab was shut down while the IT department looked into the situation, and students and alumni have been contacting City College of San Francisco and the police with questions regarding the situation. At this point in time, anyone that may have used the computer lab at the college is encouraged to check their credit reports, either manually or with a credit report monitoring service to ensure no unusual or suspicious activity is happening on their financial accounts.
