VCU Mistakenly Divulges Student Personal Information, Grades
Gary Robertson writes in The Richmond Times-Dispatch:
For the second time this year, the personal information and Social Security numbers of hundreds of Virginia Commonwealth University students have been compromised.More here.
According to the university's technology services Web site, personal information on 561 VCU students in the College of Humanities and Sciences was inadvertently included in two attachments in an e-mail.
The information included names, Social Security numbers, local and permanent addresses and grade-point averages.
The e-mail was sent Nov. 20 to 195 students to inform them about their eligibility for scholarships from Phi Kappa Phi, a national honor society. They were part of the larger group of 561 students whose personal information was released, according to the university.
(Props, Pogo Was Right.)
