Indiana University at Bloomington has kicked off National Internet Safety Month by trying to protect its own students from identity theft. The institution has scrambled the passwords of 664 campus network users whose names turned up on a computer seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Campus officials say they have no idea who owned the computer or how it turned up in the hands of the FBI. But to play it safe, they will make the affected network users contact information-security officers to get new passwords, according to the Associated Press. —Brock Read
