Employee error exposed San Jose Evergreen Community College District student info

Posted on December 3, 2016 by Dissent

The  San Jose Evergreen Community College District (SJECCD) is notifying some of their students of a breach that occurred due to an employee error.

On November 7, the district learned that an SJECCD employee had inadvertently uploaded a file containing the personal information of certain SJECCD students to a publicly accessible folder on the SJECCD website. The file was temporarily stored on the webserver and could be retrieved in search results.

The number of students whose data were exposed was not indicated in the notification letter that went out this week.

The personal information contained in the file may have included students’ name, date of birth, and Social Security number.

SJECCD is not aware at this time of any misuse of the information, but is offering those affected one year of AllClear ID Protect services.
