Buena Vista University announced that a database was compromised containing data such as names, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers of 93,000 students, parents, current and former faculty and staff, alumni and donors dating back to 1987.

Had the information stored in the database been encrypted, the breach of the database would not have exposed the sensitive data.
