Some 500 students in the University of Iowa College of Engineering are
being notified by the college that their personal information may have
been exposed in a recent computer breach.

The compromised computer contained a file with names and Social Security
numbers of students stored on its hard drive. However, the file did not
contain information such as birth dates, grades or any financial
information.

According to Alec Scranton, associate dean of academic programs in the
college, there is no evidence the file was viewed or copied, and it
