Subject: [EDU-ops] Who Do I Contact?

Yeah looking at just 'new' students there are potentially 7,000+ socials that can be stolen. This does not include students already attending. I dont know an exact count of the student population, but only had a new student registration list posted on site. So estimates are based on those and the fact that parents' SSNs can be viewed too because were provided for financial aid. So a family's identity can be stolen in turn =o/
