Subject: [SECURITY] Educational Security Incidents Year in Review - 2007 is now available
 
I just wanted to make a quick announcement to everyone this morning.

The Educational Security Incidents Year in Review for 2007 is now available. Found at 
www.adamdodge.com/esi/year_review_2007, the ESI Year in Review examines all of the information security incidents 
occurring at colleges and universities around the world as reported in the news during 2007.

2007 marked a significant change for information security incidents reported in the news. Among the changes are an 
increase in both the number of incidents reported and the number of institutions reporting a breach as well as the 
addition to new categories such as incident type "Employee Fraud" and information type "Username and Password".

Here is a sample of the information contained in the Educational Security Incidents (ESI) Year in Review - 2007:

- Total Number of Incidents: 139, a 67.5% increase over 2006
- Total Number of Institutions Affected: 112, a 72.3% increase over 2006
- Total Number of Incidents by Type
  - Employee Fraud: 1
  - Impersonation: 3
  - Loss: 12
  - Penetration: 30
  - Theft: 39
  - Unauthorized Disclosure: 53
