10,000 SSNs stolen from SSS

10,000 SSNs stolen from SSS
According to the YDN,
Social Security numbers for over 10,000 current and former students, faculty and staff were compromised last month following the theft of two University computers, officials said Tuesday.

The computers were stolen from the Yale College Dean’s Office on July 17, in only the latest in a series of data security breaches that have plagued universities nationwide. The computers were password-protected, and were probably stolen to be sold rather than for the data stored on them, University officials said. Yale has sent letters to the individuals whose personal information may now be at risk.
Yikes! Luckily I've not received an email. Unfortunately, the data was backed up, so none will be spared from the endless post-graduation hounding by the development office.

And if you still don't get the title - the Dean's Office is located in SSS
