<P>The University of Louisville recently sent letters to about 20 employees in
the president’s office alerting them that a security breach may have resulted in
their Social Security numbers being compromised. <BR><BR>Spokesman John Drees
said the university reported the incident, which involved documents being copied
and taken from a private office in the president’s office, to its Internal Audit
Office and Department of Public Safety. An invesitigation is ongoing, he said.
<BR><BR>The documents contained personal information — including Social Security
numbers, student and employee identification numbers and salary information —
for current and recent student employees. The university learned of the theft
when salary information was shared anonymously with some employees in the
office.<BR><BR>The letters were sent out April 30, and it recommended employees
have a fraud alert placed on their accounts. The employees also were advised to
monitor their mail and existing accounts for odd activity.<BR><BR>Drees said no
employees have reported any suspicious activity as of this
morning.<BR><BR>Reporter Nancy Rodriguez can be reached at (502) 582-7079.</P>
