Purdue University is warning 111 people who were students in the fall of 
2004 that information about them was inadvertently posted on the Internet.

The information was in a document that contained the names and Social 
Security numbers of students in the Animal Sciences 102 class. The page 
was no longer in use but was on a computer server connected to the 
Internet. The document was found recently through an internal search and 
reported to the chief information security officer at Purdue.

Purdue has removed page from the Internet and mailed letters to those who 
may have been affected.
