Hackers attempted to extort Michigan State University after they have breached into its database containing 400,000 records of students and employees. Names, social security numbers, MSU ID numbers and dates of birth were accessed by hackers. The university said it took the affected database offline within 24 hours after discovering the breach and it determined that only 449 of the records have been accessed by the hackers. This is the second time that the university has been hacked this year. In 2012, a hacker leaked 1,500 records and in 2013, the University confirmed that hackers modified employee banking information using stolen credentials.”]
