Keylogger malware breach hits UC Irvine

Keylogger malware infected three Student Health Center (SHC) computers at UC Irvine for about three weeks, putting the personal information of 1,813 students and 23 non-students at risk, reports SC Magazine.

Data compromised include names, addresses, phone numbers, student ID numbers, non-student patient ID numbers, health and dental insurance policy ID numbers, bank names and check numbers for services paid by check, amount of payment received by SHC for services rendered, current procedural terminology descriptions and codes and ICD-9 codes and diagnoses, according to the article.

UC Irvine since has removed the three infected computers and all employers were required to change their passwords. The incident has been reported to law enforcement and an investigation is pending.

“We have no indication that the data have been fraudulently used,” according to a statement emailed to SC Magazine.
