I was going through my mail and I found a letter from one of the schools that I applied to (and was accepted). It said that through an act of theft, someone stole my information, including my social security number. Apparently, someone stole a database that contained student records on a laptop.
I am even more angry because I have already withdrawn my application from that school. Why is my name still in their records?
This breach affects 44,000 students. So who knows how the thief will try to profit off of our personal information.
