300K University of Florida Dental Records Stolen
by The Uni-Hacker on Nov.13, 2008, under News, Security
The University of Florida’s dental computers got hacked and over 300,000 records were stolen. The IT staff at the UOF found unauthorized software installed on the dental clinics server.
Altogether, the hacked information included patient names, addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers and, in some cases, dental procedure information dating back as far as 1990.
The FBI is helping out the University in it’s investigation. The FBI? It seems that the FBI is mostly working on hacking cases these days. The budget for the FBI’s cyber team must be huge.

I too got a letter from the UF dental school. What I want to know is how they even have any info about me when I have never even been to Florida. I have been to a dental schools in two other states in the past, but thkey say they do not sell their data to other schools. UF does not answer my email inquiries to the head of the dental school as to why they have my info in their data base.
