Hugh,
On October 30, 2005 I sent this message to the ListServ:
"The following snippets from an article this weekend are interesting, but
mostly from the perspective that this is a critical problem at educational
institutions. Just wondering if this advocacy group promotes an extreme view
or if there is validity to the statement. Anyone have inside knowledge?
["KNOXVILLE -- The University of Tennessee notified about 1,900 students and
employees Friday that their names and Social Security numbers were
inadvertently posted on the Internet. . . . . . .
The Identity Theft Resource Center, a nonprofit advocacy organization in San
Diego, said 110 identity information breaches have been reported to the
center this year.
``It's rather significant that almost 60 percent of that list is educational
institutions,'' Jay Foley, co-executive director, told The Knoxville News
Sentinel.
``To look at the college network as an apple, it's worm-ridden,'' he said."]
Peter responded that many of his RAIN articles reflect this issue in the
educational community.
I will suggest that the Education ISG review and perhaps tackle this issue.
What do you think Ray Cunningham?
