(from April 24, 2007) http://news.uns.purdue.edu/x/2007a/070424KsanderEngineer.html Purdue University is informing 175 people who were students in fall 2001 that a Web page containing information about them was inadvertently available on the Internet. The page, which was no longer in use but was on a computer server connected to the Internet, contained names and Social Security numbers of students who were enrolled in a freshman engineering honors course and were scheduling to meet with advisers. Although forgotten, the page had been indexed by Internet search engines and consequently was available to individuals searching the Web. The page has been removed and, at Purdue's request, Yahoo and Google have removed the page from their indexes and cache. Letters are in the mail to those potentially affected.
