UNIVERSITY PARK, Pennsylvania. In September, 2007 the Liberty Coalition discovered four files on the Penn State Department of Geosciences website containing social security Numbers, assignment scores, test scores, and grades of roughly 39 students.
The University and FBI were notified, and Penn State removed the files within a few business hours of notification. The files were confirmed deleted from Google’s cache in mid-October. However, cached versions of the files remained in other major search engines until mid-November, 2007.
