Quote:Officials on the campus only said the posting was a simple mistake, and the employee involved wasn't punished. Posting 9100 social security numbers to be googled is a simple mistake? |

Hope their computer science department doesn't teach any internet and network security classes. If so, I'd probably have to demand a refund - the blind leading the blind and all.

I don't know which is worse: hackers stealing personal data or human stupidity giving it away for free.

Quote: All 16,000 Montclair State students were alerted about the problem, even though the files were only for 9,100 undergraduates. Wow, more than half of the students were affected? Must have been the A-M list |

Quote:for months... Whoops. That's some mistake. It probably wouldn't be such a total snafu if they had noticied it quickly, and withdrawn the information. BUT--for MONTHS? Sheesh.
