Just heard about this. Strange though, only 63K? I'm thinking athletics department?

In the age of 256 bit encryption that runs on a credit card, why is so much built upon a secret number that is shorter than a telephone number?

Well, at least UCF didn't give them away, let alone it was only ID info.
Nothing like ... say ... the US OPM giving away all those SSBIs, with far, far worse info.
