Security highlights from around the Web - Computerworld

Security highlights from around the Web - Computerworld: "University computers hacked: San Diego State University warned more than 178,000 students, alumni and employees that hackers broke into a university computer server where names and Social Security numbers were stored, the San Diego Union Tribune reports. University officials said the hackers infiltrated a server in the Office of Financial Aid and Scholarships in late December and used it to send spam e-mail messages and transfer files, including MP3 music files. The problem was discovered in late February and SDSU took the server off the network."
