Purdue University is informing 50 people who were students in spring 2002 
or fall 2004 that a Web page containing information about them was 
inadvertently available on the Internet.

During a scan for Social Security numbers, the files - which were no 
longer in use - were discovered on a computer server connected to the 
Internet. The files contained names and Social Security numbers of 
students who were enrolled in an industrial engineering 500-level course.

The page has been removed, and letters are in the mail to those 
potentially affected.
