My father and mother work at this University. The same login gets you into email, that gets you into payroll and all other employee areas of the employee website. So if the attacker was able to get the login and password through whatever means it would make any sort of email confirmation useless.
As far as the WMU police investigating this I think its a bit of a conflict of interest as their system was hacked and they will likely blame the 2 employees who lost their paychecks as its in the universities intrest no to send out more money.
- yetanotherphd 13y agoI don't think there is any conflict of interest. The police are only concerned with the criminals who stole the password. Whether the university owes the employees their pay because of the lax security they implemented, is almost certainly a civil matter.
- HarryHirsch 13y agoAt my university the Health and Safety people do nothing worse than hand out warnings, even if they come across serious safety issues in laboratories. It's almost as if they were at risk of losing their jobs if they imposed fines or shut down a lab altogether. Let the fun and games continue until someone burns! If you believe that the police and the internal IT investigation aren't under pressure to find for the university I've got an Eiffel Tower to sell to you.
