At least 50 employees were hit by identity thefts as a result of the breach, college president Ty Handy said in a memo to employees on Monday. Hackers accessed one folder with multiple files on the main server, and were able to piece together the information required for the identity theft by working between files, although no one file had a complete set of personal information regarding individuals, he said.

"We speculate this was a professional, coordinated attack by one or more hackers," Handy added. The college is part of Florida's system of 28 public state and community colleges.
