UCLA databank hacked

UCLA break-in puts data on 800,000 at risk | CNET News.com

Great, I got the mail, I am a victim!!!
Yeah, no news is good news, and so it's usually not good to be part of the news incident.
What? I am just an applicant, just submitted my file this month, in fact, the deadline was just yesterday. And my data was leaked already!!!

Hope this won't be the beginning of a nightmare years later...

On the incident, I am really surprised that the hacker had access to the database from October 2005 till November 2006, when they finally noticed the break in. That's over a year's access!!!
