MADISON, Wis., Jan. 17 (UPI) — Information technology employees said University of Wisconsin-Madison workers had their Social Security numbers exposed on a public Web site.
The school ID numbers of a small number of university employees who purchased goods at the school’s technology store were discovered online in late November, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Wednesday. University of Wisconsin-Madison Davidson of Information Technology spokesman Brian Rust said about 205 of the ID numbers had been derived from Social Security numbers.
