California State Univeristy was recently hit by a group of hackers who managed to successfully steal personal data, including social security numbers, of 59,000 people. The attack happened about three weeks ago and has been kept under wraps while the Univeristy notified those affected so they could begin to take care of the mess. According to Yahoo! News, "Identity theft is considered the nation's fastest-growing crime and last year more than 9.9 million Americans were victims." Computer security experts will likely be in high demand for many years to come to help combat rising computer crimes.
