Abstract
Aaron Titus of SSNBreach.org contacted ESI to let the editors know about a Sept 14 news release announcing the discovery of four files on the Rutgers University web site containing sensitive information. All told these files contained the names, Social Security numbers, assignment scores, test scores, course grades and other information on 227 students. SSNBreach.org notified both Rutgers and the FBI over the discovery. Rutgers immediately removed these files from the web and requested the files be removed from the search caches of the major search engines.
