School Nutrition Staffer Leaked Student SSNs to a Hacker

At Kentucky's North Oldham High School, a nutrition services staff member ended up at a website that wasn't the site she intended to visit, which resulted in the breach of a computer, officials said.

The hacked computer contained a database with the names, telephone numbers, addresses, Social Security numbers and dates of birth of both current and former students at the school.

Officials did not say exactly what the database was for.

A district investigation was unable to determine whether the hacker accessed that particular registry.

The district began mailing notification letters to all affected students the week of Sept. 21.

The letter said the district is working with the Kentucky Department of Education and "the supplier of the software involved."
