http://www.lcsun-news.com/news/ci_9263304 Las Cruces Public Schools probe of data leak continues LAS CRUCES — Las Cruces Public Schools officials continue to investigate the accidental public posting online of student and employee information from a special education database. All LCPS staff members and affected students have been offered free fraud protection for one year, which could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. One local mother, who didn't want her name used because she said her family's privacy had already been violated, said she was considering litigation in response to what she called a "ridiculously inadequate" response from the schools. The mother said her daughter's Social Security number, date of birth, her name, the nature of her disability and her caseworker's name were posted online. [...] Some former employees are thought to be among the 1,750 staff members whose information was uploaded to an unsecured Web site for a week. Current employees were notified of the breach last week and any staff member whose information was leaked was to have received notification by certified mail by Wednesday, Galván said.
