Here’s an update to a recent Rip of the Week concerning 3.3 million breached records of federal student loan recipients. It turns out that the data, which existed on “CDs and floppy discs,” was recovered shortly after the theft and was only recently discovered in a police evidence room, and connected to the case.

WCCO reports, and thanks to Jon P for the tip.

It’s reported that the data doesn’t appear to have been compromised. A major, major bullet dodged!
