Abstract
SSNBreach.org announced today that it had discovered two files containing protected student information on the University of Iowa's Computer Science Department web site. The files in question contained the names, grades and partial Social Security numbers of nine students enrolled in the university's Summer 2001 22c-112 course. The files, which are dated November 2001 on the server, were removed immediately by the university but remained available through search engine caches through March 2008.
