Hacking a network is not incredibly hard. Getting out without being traced or noticed is the tough part. If this chap managed to get out without being traced then, bravo!

...could someone answer this? I have a pending application (never got around to finish it) there too........... I'm not sure if SSN is there, but I remember the app asking you a LOT of personal questions.

I wouldn't worry about it. #1, doubt they stole all the applicant info. #2, often times this more sensitive data is typically encrypted and stored in a more secure environment and cannot be easily accessed through tradition web hacking methods. Also, personally if I wanted to steal this sort of info, I would try to do so without letting anyone know I had been there, so I could come back and get more if I needed/wanted.

In short, I wouldnt worry about it.

 

yes, though, I'm not entirely sure why someone would hack it. I mean, if they wanted to change data, that would be stupid, because data is always backed up on other systems or networks. If they wanted to change an admission decision, then that too doesn't make sense, because even that data has paper based backups or alternative electronic back up

 

There is a very large internet culture of hacking for the prestige of hacking. This person clearly wanted the internet hacking community to know that he did it, as he left his e-mail address. As odd as it seems (particularly from a financial/economic perspective), the hacker probably just hacked this website for the hell of it.

wannabebanker is spot on here. There are a number of reasons people hack websites, and stealing information is only one of them.

the seo website was hacked earlier this year as well. i wouldn't be worried about application information too much, because I think the applications are done through a different network/company called applynow.

 

I remember when USC's system was hacked a few years ago. They sent out a letter about it. Good thing I was just a prospective applicant and didn't end up applying.
