Iowa State University servers breached, made to mine Bitcoins

Iowa State University servers breached, made to mine Bitcoins | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
From www.net-security.org - April 23, 2014 12:49 PM

Iowa State University has revealed yesterday that five of its departmental servers on campus have been hacked, and that Social Security numbers of nearly 30,000 of its past and present students might have been stolen.

The good news is that while that data was contained on three of the compromised servers, there is no evidence that it has actually been accesses and/or exfiltrated.

The University's IT staff believes that the servers were targeted not for the information they contained, but for their computing power - the attackers have apparently been using them to mine Bitcoins.
