What's behind the rash of
university data breaches?
Purdue University last month reported its seventh data
breach in the past four years. But Purdue is hardly alone.
According to my records, over 300 publicized privacy incidents
have occurred at U.S. institutions of higher learning since
2001, with at least 53 colleges and universities experiencing
multiple breaches. When Jay Cline last covered the issue four years ago (see
"Security breaches challenge academia's 'open society' "),
universities were the leading sector for publicized breaches.
The same is true today. What's going on? Why haven't things changed?

Terror," to the
Twin Cities
Privacy Retreat.
