About 63,000 Social Security numbers and names of former and current UCF students and employees were stolen by hackers, officials disclosed Thursday, part of a growing cybersecurity threat faced by schools and other large institutions. The FBI's Jacksonville office, which is investigating the case with UCF Police and other agencies, said it has sent out notifications to all U.S. colleges "in an effort to identify other potential victims." FBI officials would not elaborate. UCF first realized there was a problem in early January but didn't announce the hack publicly until nearly a month later as it worked with authorities and experts to determine the details of what happened, officials said.
