****, some of my information was stolen

<p>Just got an email from McCombs saying they got my:</p>

<p>Name
UT-EID</p>

<p>Thankfully they didn't get my social security, but still it is terrible that some Asian hacker has some of my information. I also made sure to change my password just in case.</p>

<p>yea that happened to me too. i got an email today.
i guess i ought to change my pwd.</p>

<p>ps. your comment about the hacker being Asian is facetious.</p>

<p>Lol, it was reported last month that the hacker was from Asia. Whether or not he/she was actually of asian ethnicity I'm not sure of and I apoligize if you took it that way.</p>

<p>how do you change your UTEID password?</p>

<p>On the right it says: "Quick Password Change and Login."
Click there and it should be easy to follow after that.</p>

<p>your name and UTEID is not that big of a deal. I can get your name, find out where you live, how much taxes you pay on your house, etc. on the internet. Social Security # is the big one, and nobody I know has had their's taken. It would have been nice not to have this happen, but I'm not worrying about it. (I changed my password just to be safe though.)</p>

<p>I think this is the second hack/theft of data this year at McCombs.</p>

<p>im pretty sure they concluded the investigation into the hacking of the information from last month, and they were NOT attacked again.</p>

<p>I think you are correct, Kenneth J. It looks like this part of the notification process from the original data theft: <a href="http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/datatheft/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/datatheft/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p>
