Abstract
Texas A&M University Corpus Christi will begin notifying applicants after a web site containing personal information was discovered. The web site, discovered by student, contained a document with 2005 application information including 1,430 names and Social Security numbers. University officials immediately removed the documents once they became aware of the incident. The university is working to attempt to discover how long this document was available online. This incident marks the fourth time in two years, including the second time in three months, that TAMUCC student data has been exposed.
