Abstract
Texas A&M University is the latest institution where SSNBreach.org and the Liberty Alliance discovered student information available on the Internet. Files uploaded in November 2000 contained that names, grades and partial Social Security numbers of 44 students enrolled in Dr. Clyde Munster's Fall 1998 AGEN 350 course. Dr. Munster removed the files as soon as he was notified of the incident but copies remained available through March 2008 in major search engine caches.
