Abstract
A new Montgomery College employee was recently disciplined after Montgomery students discovered a file containing personal information on a shared public drive. The file, placed on the drive accidentally, contained the names, address and Social Security numbers of all graduating Montgomery students. College officials have since removed the file and alerted all of the affected students.

[Update: Please be aware that the institution in this story is Montgomery College located in Conroe, Texas and not Montgomery College located in Montgomery County, Maryland.

I would also like to thank Dick Leurig and Steve Simon of Montgomery College in Maryland for alerting me to this mistake.]
