A security breach has compromised the personal information of students of the McCombs School of Business at the University of Texas, according to a press release from the school.

The press release recounts a previous security breach:

A similar security breach took place in 2003. Former student Christopher Phillips was found guilty of accessing protected computers without authorization and possession of stolen Social Security numbers.

Interestingly, Janet Elliott’s reporting for the Chronicle’s Austin bureau also recounts the previous incident:

A similar security breach took place in 2003. Former student Christopher Phillips was found guilty of accessing protected computers without authorization and possession of stolen Social Security numbers.

That looks strikingly similar. Maybe the newspaper should have just posted the press release?

We now have 160 of 171 precincts in (94%), Dan has pulled ahead slightly:

Dan Patrick: 69%
Peggy Hamric: 18%
Joe Nixon: 9%

One more victory Scotch just might be in order.

A runoff is now mathematically impossible. It’s all over, folks.

I’m here at the Steamboat House, where Dan Patrick and hundreds of enthusiastic supporters and volunteers have gathered for good food, good company, and a very good experience: watching Dan stomp the hell out of Joe Nixon, Peggy Hamric and Mark Ellis. As of about a half-hour ago, Dan’s got one scalp: Joe Nixon has conceded.

It’s going to be a very long, but very fun night.
