I spent a summer at one of the universities in this dump. It just looks like wordpress user info - nothing particularly sensitive about the data, and mine wasn't in it. Edit: Looks like one of the tables has plaintext passwords. If I recall correctly, security practices at this university were horrible - social security numbers could be accessed in plaintext, and resetting a password took only a single security question without email confirmation. |

For example to reset your university email account you needed the last three digits of the ssn and your date of birth. In my case, the school somehow never got my ssn so my ssn in this case was just "0". So theoretically if anyone wanted to change my password they just needed to use "yyyymmdd0" to access it.
