The personal information of up to 2,000 people was exposed to the public for five days on a computer in Cornell’s athletics department, a University administrator confirmed Thursday.
Donald Sevey, director of information systems, said that the University discovered that a file server containing “confidential data” about thousands of people was accessible by the public for a period of time. He said that he does not know if anyone maliciously used the data while it was exposed.
