On Tuesday, February 6, 2007 City College of San Francisco’s (CCSF)
Information Technology Department learned that a computer file created in
May 2000, containing the names, addresses and social security numbers of
approximately eleven thousand students was potentially viewable via the
Internet. The file did not include any driver’s license numbers, credit
card or banking information. The College took immediate steps to remove the
file and ensure that it could no longer be viewed.

The file in question was used in 2000 for providing students that attended
in Summer 1999 their grades. You should know that since June 2002, the
College stopped using social security numbers as unique identifiers for
students and switched to student identification numbers. All grades issued
since 2002 are connected to student identification numbers and do not
involve the use of social security numbers.
