...this is somewhat old news. Last year someone broke into NYU's gym computer (yes, I know)...and stole something like 10,000 student ssn numbers. This year, NYU has switched to non-ssn id numbers for students. Way to be reactionary and not proactive guys. PS. my ssn was stolen in this incident and I'm still in control of all my banking functions. People need to relax a little bit about this one.
