UW-Madison officials waited more than a month before advising more than 200 faculty and staff members of a potential exposure of their personal information on the Internet last year.
The personal information — including e-mail addresses, phone numbers and Social Security-based campus ID numbers of faculty and staff who made purchases from the DoIT computer shop — had been accessible on a campus Internet site for at least a year, said Brian Rust, communications manager for the UW’s department of information technology.
