  California State University Chico is the latest victim of Identity
theft.
Aparently one of their "Food Service" machines was cracked and
used to distribute "games, files, and other media". An official
response is available." From the article: "The names of 15,500 current
students, 1,000 faculty, 1,500 staff and former students going back
about five years were in a database that was potentially compromised.
The files also included information on prospective students."

Regards,

liability depends upon whether B is less than L multiplied by
P: i.e., whether B is less than PL."
