TNCNet via the Dallas Morning News reports on another data breach.
(Dallas Morning News, The (KRT) Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge). Don't breathe easy just because your student loans are long paid off: Names and Social Security numbers from accounts closed more than a decade ago were among at least 1.3 million records recently lost by a computer contractor for the Texas student loan company.
The Texas Guaranteed Student Loan Corp., created in 1979, urged anybody who has ever borrowed through the agency to verify whether his or her records were among those on an unspecified piece of computer equipment that disappeared May 24.
