Parents, students, and staff of the University of Alaska are being made aware that their information may have been included in a data breach that happened between January 31^st and February 15^th of last year. Quite a bit of information was possibly included in the breach and it is likely that it is connected to issues some users were having when trying to access their email. Information that could have been obtained by unauthorized parties includes the individual’s name, ID number, birth date, digital signature, drivers license number, username, and account password. A smaller number of victims may have had financial account numbers, health insurance information, passport numbers, student ID numbers, and Social Security numbers included as well. The university hired a third-party security firm to look into the incident and they discovered that many of the users who were affected had their passwords changed by the attackers, making it even more difficult to retrieve their accounts. Since the discovery, all parties who may have been affected were notified and password security protocols have been upgraded. Credit monitoring service has also been offered for free by the university.
