At my university, students' SSNs were just posted on the web for all the world to see. On more than one occassion. NYTimes article on the original incident; of course, you need to log in. Second incident was a month later. It all kickstarted the move to the non-SSN university IDs, but not before the university paid for credit checks for any affected student who requested it.
