UK accidently releases Social Security numbers

The Social Security numbers of about 700 University of Kentucky
students may have been accidentally released publicly in two
incidents recently, school officials said Tuesday.

In a statement from the school, officials said about 630 students’
names and Social Security numbers were posted on UK’s financial aid
Web site between Friday and Monday.

The mistake was discovered Monday afternoon, and the information was
removed, officials said. They said they have received no reports of
anyone affected by the release.
