Security breach at Mississippi's IHL hit Monday, disclosed Thursday
Original: Security breach at IHL affecting Office of Financial Aid occurred Monday, not Thursday when IHL made it known
A security breach affecting the Office of Financial Aid at Mississippi's Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) actually took place on Monday, though the agency only announced it on Thursday, several Mississippi newspapers are reporting. The delay between the incident and its disclosure is drawing attention, raising questions about how quickly the state higher education authority informed affected students and staff of the breach and what data may have been exposed.
Why now: The three-day gap between the breach and IHL's public disclosure is prompting scrutiny of the agency's response.
