Mississippi IHL financial aid breach happened days before disclosure
Original: Security breach at IHL affecting Office of Financial Aid occurred Monday, not Thursday when IHL made it known
Mississippi's Institutions of Higher Learning says a security breach affecting its Office of Financial Aid actually occurred on Monday, not Thursday as initially indicated when the agency made it public. Regional outlets including the Charleston Sun-Sentinel, Scott County Times, Grenada Star and Star-Herald are reporting the discrepancy, raising questions about how quickly the breach was disclosed and whether sensitive financial aid information was exposed.
Why now: The four-day gap between the breach and its public disclosure is drawing scrutiny of IHL's handling of the incident.
