Officials at the City University of New York blamed human error for making sensitive financial information for 300 law school students public on the Web. The information included a spreadsheet with names, Social Security numbers and loan information as well as a file containing direct-deposit bank information, an unidentified student told Newsday.
The student found the information during a Google search using her name. ‘I was shocked, I was outraged,’ the second-year law student said. ‘People have access to our names. Lord knows what they have by now. I’m worried about my safety and my credit.’
‘It’s a human error … that placed the file outside a protected firewall,’ a CUNY spokesman said of the mistake that affected Queens College students.
