Press-release reporting, Austin-bureau style
A security breach has compromised the personal information of students of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas, according to a press release from the school.
The press release recounts a previous security breach:
A similar security breach took place in 2003. Former student Christopher Phillips was found guilty of accessing protected computers without authorization and possession of stolen Social Security numbers.
Interestingly, Janet Elliott's reporting for the Chronicle's Austin bureau also recounts the previous incident:
A similar security breach took place in 2003. Former student Christopher Phillips was found guilty of accessing protected computers without authorization and possession of stolen Social Security numbers.
That looks strikingly similar. Maybe the newspaper should have just posted the press release?
