It was recently revealed that the University of South Carolina, College of Education experienced a data breach when a hacker accessed one of their servers earlier this year. The breach is believed to have exposed the personal information of as many as 34,000 current and former students and staff of the university, including the victims’ social security information.
Disclosure of personal information such as social security information is unlawful, and we have brought lawsuits on behalf of victims of such disclosures in the TRICARE/SAIC, Zappos, Sutter Health and Saint Joseph data breaches.
