OSU potential data exposure

• Ohio State has notified end of 2008
  approximately 18,000 current and former students
  whose names and Social Security numbers had been
  mistakenly stored on a computer server exposed to
  the Internet. This exposure was caused by an
  outside vendor doing work for the universitys
  Student Health Insurance Plan and only affected
  those students enrolled in the insurance program
  from Autumn Quarter 2005 to Summer Quarter 2006.
  University officials state that it is unlikely
