Abstract
Florida International University recently began notifying faculty and students after a unsecured database was found to contain personal information. The database, part of FIU's College of Education, contained the names, GPAs, test scores and Social Security numbers of over 19,000 students and the names and Social Security numbers of 88 faculty. While FIU has not found any evidence that the information was accessed, they urge those affected to monitor their credit reports.
