An in-class project on advanced search techniques led to the discovery of a major data breach at the University of Tampa. The breach affected more than 6,800 students who enrolled with the university last fall. It occurred after a file containing their names, Social Security Numbers and dates of birth was inadvertently made available on the Web for about eight months. Another two files containing similar data on an additional 22,722 faculty, staff and students may also have been available online. The school did not say why only one file was indexed by Google.”]
