Security breach at Mississippi's IHL disclosed days after it occurred

Original: Security breach at IHL affecting Office of Financial Aid occurred Monday, not Thursday when IHL made it known

A security breach at Mississippi's Institutions of Higher Learning affecting the Office of Financial Aid took place on a Monday, but the agency did not make it known until Thursday. Several Mississippi outlets, including the Charleston Sun-Sentinel, Scott County Times, Grenada Star and Star-Herald, are carrying the story, with attention focused on the three-day gap between the incident and the public disclosure.

Why now: The delay in disclosing the breach is drawing scrutiny from local media and readers concerned about financial aid data security.
