It's back-to-school time at the University of Toledo, but many students 
and faculty are concerned about a possible security breach.  The 
university's Compliant and Privacy Officer sent an e-mail to students on 
Friday, saying a laptop computer had been stolen from an office in the 
Student Recreation Center that contained some student and employee names 
and Social Security numbers.

"Although there is no indication this information was targeted in the 
theft, [and] we believe the risk is minimal, we are treating this matter

e-mail from Lynn Hutt, UT's Compliance/Privacy Officer.  "We apologize to 
all those affected by this incident, and we are taking measures to 
minimize the possibility of future incidents."
