UW Investigates Possible Data Security Breach
        

Aug. 8, 2006 -- The University of Wyoming is investigating a possible  
security breach of the university's Advance Alumni Database. The  
possible compromise of information in this database was identified  
and reported to university officials by persons with authorized access.

UW President Tom Buchanan has directed UW Vice President for  
Information Technology Robert Aylward to retain an independent firm  
to evaluate whether a compromise of alumni information occurred and,  
if it did, the cause and extent of the situation. Questions should be  
directed to Aylward at (307) 766-4860.
