For the second time in three months, the University of Florida in 
Gainesville has acknowledged a major data breach -- and a statement posted 
on the University's Web site indicates that there was a third, less 
public, breach discovered by the school during the same period.

In November, the university said that the names, dates of birth, Social 
Security numbers (SSNs) and addresses of more than 330,000 current and 
former College of Dentistry patients dating back to 1990 had been exposed 
in a computer intrusion.

An undated statement on the University's Web site indicates that on 
January 20, an LDAP Directory Server configuration error allowed outside

attached to the statement said that personal data belonging to about 101 
people might have been compromised as a result.
