"The full extent of the problem is still being analyzed, but we think it is important to exercise caution, and the best action to take is for all users to change their passwords at this time," said Scott Ksander of Purdue's information technology office. The police department was notified of the hacking Wednesday. The school has not been able to determine whether the intruder obtained personal information. Ksander advised users to watch for signs that others might have obtained their personal information.
