Abstract
An e-mail sent by Jefferson College of Health Sciences (JCHS) financial aid director accidentally exposes 143 student names and social security numbers. According to the college, the e-mail was intended for another college employee but ended up being sent every one of JCHS's 900 students. An e-mail from Carol Seavor, the college president, urged students to immediately delete this e-mail since "the information was not intended for [student] review." JCHS is also willing to pay for one year of credit monitoring for all affected students.
