8500 Employees Of University of Georgia Personal Information Accessed

Hackers were able to penetrate into the records of the University of Georgia and around 8500 former and current employees credentials were accessed.

This was possible because the hackers had access to two employees OF the IT department.Once login in through these account,the hackers were able to access the personal information of the employees which consisted of their names, social security number, etc.
"This appears to us to be a planned intrusion by someone who knew enough about our operations to know which accounts to attack and where the sensitive information was located within the system" said UGA Vice President for Information Technology Timothy M. Chester
