[funsec] University of South Carolina e-Mail Compromises Student IDs

[Larry Seltzer]

>>So far, the school is not aware of any misuse of the information, but
officials notified students of the lapse Monday and suggested they take
precautions against identity theft. 

What precautions? Like not giving their social security numbers to entities
that irresponsibly disseminate it?
