Old Dominion, 601 SSNs, Grad Student's Dismal Process
In 2004, a graduate student apparently posted a class roster of 601 students, complete with names an social security numbers on the web. (“ODU Graduate Student Posts Student Information on Website, School Investigating,” [link to http://www.wavy.com/Global/story.asp?S=4508722&nav=23ii no longer works] via Netsec.)
Update: Lyger of Attrition pointed out that the dates in the WAVY-TV story don’t add up. There’s a story in the Virginian Pilot, ”
Social Security numbers of 601 ODU students posted to Web,” [link to http://home.hamptonroads.com/stories/story.cfm?story=99602&ran=129421 no longer works] which says that the data was up for nearly two years. I suspect that the TV news site made a simple mistake.
