Personal and financial information of current and former employees of College has been accidentally leaked through a phishing scam.
An employee with the college released W-2 forms after receiving an email posing as someone with the college requesting the information.
W-2 forms are used to file for income tax returns, contain pertinent information, such as social security number, name, address, employer information, wage, etc.
The school did not discover the fraudulent request until two days later.
