“Cincinnati State Technical Community College says a cybersecurity breach potentially exposed personal information stored on its network. The Clifton-based college detected unauthorized access to the network on Nov. 2 and an investigation was launched in consultation with outside cybersecurity professionals, according to a notice posted to Cincinnati State's website on Friday.“
“The incident was also reported to law enforcement, according to the notice. Following the investigation, Cincinnati State discovered certain files − containing personal information − were removed from portions of its network between Oct. 30 and Nov. 2, the notice states. The data included full names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses or state identification numbers, health insurance information, and financial account information, the notice states. Cincinnati State sent out notifications on Friday via mail to the individuals whose information was contained within the impacted files, the notice states.“
“"Impacted individuals are encouraged to take steps to protect themselves against identity fraud, including placing a fraud alert/security freeze on their credit files, obtaining free credit reports, and remaining vigilant in reviewing financial account statements and credit reports for fraudulent or irregular activity on a regular basis," the notice reads. The notice didn't specifically say whether students' information was impacted by the breach. A college spokesperson has yet to respond to an email from The Enquirer seeking comment. “
