NUI Galways Problem: Misplaced USB Flash Drive Containing Unencrypted Student Records. A lost USB flash drive containing 900 unencrypted personally identifiable records of students, including their test results, full names and other contact information. The University of the Irish Data Protection Commissioner has considered the matter and issued guidance. It is potentially, all the 18,000 students of the University are affected, as the names of those 900 were never revealed if not unknown by the University officials. Free encryption software is built with Windows 7, 8 and Enterprise flavors, which can be used to encrypt USB flash drives.”]
