Abstract
Huron University College is looking for help in contacting former students, applicants and residence after a server containing personal information was found to have been breached by an unknown party. The breach, discovered by staff attempting to fix another problem, potentially exposed the names, SIN numbers and dates of birth of some 25,000 individuals including those students residing on campus between 1999 and present, college applicants between 1992 and 2008, and register students between 2004 and present. While the investigation into the incident has not found any evidence that the personal information was accessed, the college can not rule that out. Huron has created a hotline - 866-953-7745 - to help address any concerns or questions about this incident.
