UCLA Server Hit by Cyber Attack

32,000 people are being notified due to a cyber attack on a university computer server at UCLA. The server contained personal information about students, though officials don’t believe the information was obtained by hackers.

According to UCLA officials, the attack was aimed at a Summer Sessions and International Education Office server that contains information such as students’ names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance IDs and some student-reported medical information.

The university is offering one year of free identity protection services to affected people. Notices are being sent out and should be received in the next few weeks.
