Personal Information Stolen From California State University

According the The Associated Press, hackers have stolen the personal information of 59,000 people affiliated with California State University, Chico.

Apparently about three weeks ago hackers gained access to students, faculty, and employee's names and Social Security numbers.

Some of the people affected were prospective students. Do you think they'll go to the school now?

In April of 2004, hackers broke into the computer system of the University of California, San Diego, compromising confidential information on about 380,000 students, teachers, employees, alumni and applicants.

The hackers may not have been identity theives, but still, this latest high profile incident will increase calls in Congress, and in California, already the ground zero for privacy law, for more laws protecting personal information, I'm sure.
