"Social Security Numbers, Other Data May Have Been Stolen in LCC Data Breach"

More than 750,000 people may have had their social security numbers stolen in a data breach at Lansing Community College (LCC) in late 2022 and early 2023.  The community college notified "757,832 employees, students, and vendors that their personal information may have been accessed or acquired by an unknown unauthorized person."  The data breach was discovered and reported by the college in March.  Because of the breach, LCC shut down for several days.  The school said an "unauthorized actor" had access to "certain systems" from Dec. 25, 2022, until discovered on March 15, 2023.  It took until May 24 to determine what information the actor had access to.  The school noted that, to date, they have no evidence of any identity theft or fraud in connection with this incident.  The community college reported an annual enrollment of 14,000 students in the 2021-22 school year, with 1,673 faculty and staff members.  Some people who received letters about having data stolen attended the school decades ago.
