SSNBreach.org reports that the University of South Carolina’s Department of Biological Sciences, posted 18 files containing the full names, social security numbers, assignment scores, test scores, course grades, indications of academic misconduct, and other highly sensitive information for up to 3,199 students at the University of South Carolina. Many of the files were indexed by major search engines, which have since been cleared.
The University of South Carolina and FBI were notified of the breach, and the University took immediate action to removed the files from the website. Though the university has not yet responded to Liberty Coalition alerts, we assume that they have requested major search engines clear their caches.
Individuals who have been affected by this breach can search for their names at SSNBreach.org for more information.
