Abstract
SSNBreach.org and the Liberty Alliance continue to uncover student information posted on university and college web sites. The latest discovery involved information on 66 Florida State University students. The information found on the FSU Chemistry department web site included names, grades, and 33 Social Security numbers. All of the affected students appear to be former chemistry students of Dr. Steinbock. FSU removed the files immediately upon notification but the files remained available through search engine caches through March 2008.
