For the second time this year, the personal information and Social Security
numbers of hundreds of Virginia Commonwealth University students have been
compromised.

According to the university's technology services Web site, personal
information on 561 VCU students in the College of Humanities and Sciences
was inadvertently included in two attachments in an e-mail.

The information included names, Social Security numbers, local and
permanent addresses and grade-point averages.

The e-mail was sent Nov. 20 to 195 students to inform them about their
eligibility for scholarships from Phi Kappa Phi, a national honor society.
They were part of the larger group of 561 students whose personal
information was released, according to the university.
