Hackers have breached Michigan State University's online store, gaining access to customer credit card numbers and other personal information, the university said.
The university is offering free credit monitoring to anyone affected by the breach.
Hackers used code to expose the names, addresses and credit card numbers of about 2,600 shoppers at the online store that sells the school's branded merchandise.
Michigan State was the target of a Memorial Day hack of Department of Physics and Astronomy servers.
MSU officials refused and hackers began publishing stolen information, including a pizza order receipt, a student's passport, and a letter from the university offering someone a postdoctoral research associate appointment.
