    Abstract
    In December 2007, the Liberty Coalition notified Virginia Tech about several files discovered on VT web space that contained student information. The files, some dating back to 1998, contained information on 250 VT students including names, 128 full and 111 partial Social Security numbers, class and group participation, class grades and class attendance. Virginia Tech immediately removed the files once notified.
