Federal student aid site exposes borrowers' data

From News.com:

The U.S. Department of Education has disabled the online payment feature for its Federal Student Aid site, following a security breach that could affect up to 21,000 borrowers.

Federal Student Aid recipients who between Sunday and Tuesday accessed one of six Web pages on the Department of Education site may have had their personal information exposed to others, said Lesley Pool, a spokeswoman for software company Affiliated Computer Services.
