A hacker broke into a computer server at the North Carolina Community College System, gaining access to the personal information of 51,000 people, the Asheville Citizen-Times reported on Thursday. The breach occurred at a library server in Raleigh, North Carolina, in August. System officials say the server contains driver’s license and Social Security information used to track library materials at 46 community-college libraries.
Administrators say no information seems to have been taken, though they will still send letters to all those whose details were stored on the server.
