Texas A&M Data Breach of Nearly 4,700 Faculty & Graduate Assistants

Posted on March 15, 2015 by Dissent

KBTX reports:

The social security numbers for 4,697 faculty and graduate assistants who taught during the Fall 2014 semester at Texas A&M University were viewable from a department website.

The social security numbers were inadvertently displayed along with the individual’s first and last name in the Fall 2014 Semester Teaching Analysis Report (STAR). Upon discovering the situation, the University immediately removed access to the website and sent letters to those that might have been impacted by this data breach.

Is there any relationship to this report from SLC Security in February?

Update: The KBTX report seems to have disappeared or moved. For another media source, see this report in The Eagle.
