Abstract
Purdue University is apologizing to students after it discovered a web page containing student information was available on the Internet. This page, containing the names and Social Security numbers of 50 students, was discovered during a routine review of the Purdue web space. The individuals affected by this incident involve those students enrolled in the university's industrial engineering 500-level course between spring 2002 and fall 2004. Purdue has already mailed out letters to those affected students, but has setup a hotline - 866-605-0013 - and a web site - www.purdue.edu/news/coe0706.html - to help answer any questions students have about the incident.
