Around 13,000 current and former students of Chapman University and its affiliate, Brandman University had their personal information exposed last week. The university said an electronic document containing sensitive information such as Social Security numbers, student identification numbers and financial aid information was discovered by a Chapman student on February 15th.
Chapman University discovered that the document had accidentally been placed in a nonsecure location.
Shari Waters, Chapman’s chief information officer, said in a statement released Tuesday that the university has found “no evidence that any personal data was appropriated or misused” and that the slip-up appeared to be an “isolated incident.”
Chapman University has contacted all of the students listed in the document and is offering identity protection service to the students
