Baylor Law Screw-Up Reveals Personal Data of Entire Admitted Class: Data That We’ve Got

Posted on April 4, 2012 by Dissent

There are data breaches, and then there are data dummies. The people at Baylor Law seem to be in the latter category.

Nobody was trying to steal the personal information of the admitted students at Baylor Law. But a screw-up by someone at the school resulted in all of the personal information of the admitted class getting transmitted to everybody else in the admitted class.

All of it. Names, addresses, grades, and LSAT scores. Pretty much everything besides social security numbers.

Read more on Above the Law, where their redacted table showing some of the admissions information suggests that 442 applicants had some personal information exposed.

    Accepted Baylor Law applicant here. Just wanted to say that the information is either incomplete, or at the very least inaccurate. Without giving away too much, my GPR/LSAT are _not_ on the leaked list, so either my info wasn’t on there for some reason, or they got my GPR wayyyy off, lol.

    Don’t trust everything you see online, folks – even leaked documents.

      Good policy about not trusting everything you read online. Here are two other sources reporting basically the same thing about GPA’s:

      http://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/view/25007/baylor-law-accidentally-discloses-gpas-lsat-scores-of-incoming-class/

      And one adds that scholarship amounts and ethnicity were also included.

      Best of luck in your studies, btw. 🙂
