NU Hot Line Handling Concerns Over Database Breach

The University of Nebraska has opened a service center for those whose personal data may have been exposed when a hacker reached a major university database.

A toll-free number has been set up: 888-215-4321. The university says it will be answered from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week, although that might change with call volume.

Officials announced last Friday that someone breached security to reach the database of more than 650,000 records belonging to students, alumni, parents and university employees. Officials said there's no evidence that information was downloaded.

The university says it has identified a suspect, but no arrest has been made as the investigation continues.
