WOW. Truely pitiful that this can happen. This affects all USC campus locations statewide. If you went to USC, you may be one of the 31,000 who has had your social security number and other private info exposed on the internet via a breach in USC computers. Seems that info about the breach has been both slow in coming and also lacking an explanation of how it happened.

It's kind of like in 2009 when the University of Alabama took two months to notify 37,000 that their personal information may have been exposed.

Exactly!
What is USC doing to ensure this does not happen again? Why the slow response from USC? Why is there a lack of information about how this happened at USC?
