In My Mailbox …

“I am very sorry to report that your Social Security number was among the 28,600 illegally retrieved.  This does not mean that you are the victim of identity theft or that we have evidence of your Social Security number being misused. And it is important to know that the database does not include banking or credit card information or driver’s license numbers.”  Sweet.

    Weren’t you already among the 800,000 current and former students and faculty at UCLA to suffer a similar fate?

    Yes, exactly what I was referrring to. Just got my notice in the mail today. Though apparently only a lucky 26,800 (including me) of the 800,000 had their SSNs in the database.
