Purdue University thought they had a
minor glitch in their campus network,
only to find out the system had been
hacked.
Purdue acting proactively did the
following:
Sent emails to all 60,000 students, faculty
members and employees on the main
campus asking them to change their
network passwords.
Within 24 hours about 15,000 people had
changed their passwords.
By day four, more than fifty percent of the
professors and 38 percent of the students
had changed their passwords.
The remaining of the students and
professors, chose not to change their
passwords.
Be Smart with Passwords.
Having multiple passwords.
Never leave passwords laying around.
Equip every campus machine with
hardware called a one-time-passwordtoken device.
Find intent of reason for hackers,
hacking into the system.
California State University at Hayward
network was attacked by a hacker,
compromising personal information for
over 2,000 people.
Hayward officials sent apology letters
within 5 days.
California Law passed in 2003.
Requires that within 10 days of an attack, public
universities must notify anyone whose personal
information may have been exposed.
California Polytechnic State University and
Berkeley also had their systems hacked.
Large universities can afford to implement
the more expensive measures to prevent
hackers from being successful.
