Oregon university student data back to 1996 breached

In a letter to affected alumni, the university said it has since recovered the data and “severed our relationship with the vendor.” While the school has “no evidence that any individuals other than the vendor had access to your personal information, we are unable to guarantee that it has been secure.”
