Loyola University Chicago recently discovered that an obsolete computer containing personally identifiable information for 5,800 students was improperly discarded.
Loyola is notifying the affected students and is offering complimentary credit monitoring memberships to those individuals. Loyola takes this incident very seriously and is responding diligently to protect students' personal information from being compromised.
An official police report has been filed with campus security and the University will continue its investigation into the missing PC. Loyola is monitoring its electronic inventory and has verified that, to date, the machine has not been logged into or connected with the University network.
Loyola has contracted with ConsumerInfo.com Inc., an Experian company, to provide affected students with a full year of free credit monitoring.
The credit monitoring membership will enable students to identify possible fraudulent use of their information. In addition, Loyola has developed a dedicated Web site, www.luc.edu/datasecurity, to reference for more information.

If Loyola took this seriously Why did I have to find out their page devoted to this from your site?
if you are a loyola student or staff, maybe you are too busy surfing the web to read your email? because they sent out notice of this
Nothing in my student email. Checked it before and after, still nothing.
