Case ID: 4854 | Miscellaneous | 06/30/2006
Ohio University has been sued by two graduates whose Social Security numbers were among more than 173,000 possibly stolen in five instances of data theft from school computers since March 2005. Donald Jay Kulpa, 31, of Cincinnati, and Kenneth Neben, 34, a former Columbus resident now living in North Bergen, N.J., argue their right to privacy has been violated.
The lawsuit asks a judge to order the school to pay for credit monitoring services for the people whose personal information might have been compromised. It also requests compensation for anyone who suffers financial losses from identity thefts linked to the security breaches. The lawsuit seeks class-action status to represent anyone who was affected, including OU students, alumni and employees. A lawyer representing the two graduates, said "the university was negligent and indifferent in failing to adequately protect personal information." A consultants' report released last week concluded that OU's Computer and Network Services division made security a low priority for more than 10 years. The lawsuit seeks to represent anyone who was affected by the data theft, including OU students, alumni and employees.
