University students worry about their credit after web site made personal data accessible to public

Social Security numbers and personal information of an unknown amount of students of the Louisiana State University was publicly displayed on the school’s website for an unknown period of time, leaving information accessible to the public. The personal data was displayed on the College of Arts and Sciences portion of the school’s website.

Although there has not been evidence of misuse at this time, the University Registrar, Robert Doolos, has notified students by letter that they are encouraged to use the credit monitoring service on their site at http://creditmonitor.lsu.edu.
