UNC Charlotte: 350,000 SSNs Exposed in Decade-long Data Breach

Two issues exposed financial data and Social Security numbers for 350,000 people, although it is thought the information has not been abused, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte said.

It blamed a system mis-configuration and incorrect access settings for the exposures, which also involved names and addresses of people who had done transactions with the university.The university said in a statement earlier this week that it has fixed both problems, one of which lasted three months and the other more than a decade.
