UT dishonest about source of attack (Score 3, Interesting)

I stumbled on a UT site yesterday that had a number of exposed social security numbers, after reading an article in Wired about open Web enabled databases. The UT site now appears to be down, but you can see the Google cached version here

A click on the travel.fp3 file listed a couple hundred SSNs. It was completely wide open.

UT made it sound like a deliberate attack, but it looks to me more like administrative incompetence (and cya).
