"UR Urges Campus Community to Take Precautions After Data Breach"

An unknown number of members of the University of Rochester campus community might have had their personal information revealed during a data breach, university officials say.  The officials noted that the university's IT staff is working closely with the FBI and an outside data forensic firm to determine what information was compromised and what possible actions need to be taken.  The officials stated that they currently believe faculty, staff, and students could be impacted, but they do not yet know the full scope of the impact on University community members or which personal data was accessed, as the investigation is ongoing.  The officials revealed that the data breach resulted from a software vulnerability in a product provided by a third-party file transfer company.
