Data Breach Alert: Names, addresses, and social security numbers of current and former University of Florida students compromised
June 18th, 2008 - Posted by Caitlin
University of Florida officials are in the process of notifying more than 11,300 current and former students of a privacy breach in which the names, addresses and social security numbers of students who attended CLAS between 2003 and 2005 were temporarily posted online. Former student employees of the Office for Academic Support and Institutional Service, or OASIS, created online records of students participating in the program. The employees posted the information online so they could work with it remotely, but they did not install security measures to keep others from accessing it as well. The information has been removed and is no longer accessible. University officials sent letters of notification to those students whose information is believed to potentially have been compromised but were unable to find contact information for about 570 people.
We strongly suggest that anyone involved in this or other similar data breach consider using an identity theft protection service. Read our guide to identity theft protection services to learn more.
