STATE Website contains Social Security numbers DES MOINES (AP) — A website sponsored by elected officials includes Social Security numbers and other data for thousands of Iowans — including Gov. Chet Culver. IowaLandRecords.org is drawing sharp criticism from watchdog groups, which say it is putting Iowans at risk for identity theft. Culver’s spokesman, Troy Price, said he is concerned and the gover- nor’s office is looking into the website. IowaLandRecords.org, includes home-mortgage records and other documents from each of Iowa’s 99 counties. The website was launched in January 2005 by the Iowa County Recorders Association. Records on the site that are older than six years old typically include Social Security numbers. Newer doc- uments do not include the numbers. One of those affected was West Des Moines resident George Davey. Davey said he found an old cred- it-card number on one of his public documents posted on the website. After looking closer at the site, he said he was able to pull more than 50 Social Security numbers in less than an hour, including Culver’s and that of Iowa Secretary of State Michael Mauro. “If I can get 50 Social Security numbers in minutes, then just imagine how many a team of skilled hackers could get over a one monthlong period,” Davey said. “Hackers are not the cause of iden- tity theft, careless government agencies and holders of information are the cause. Imagine what they already have.”

FOOTBALL CONTINUED FROM 1B

Purdue Boilermakers, a team Iowa has played annu- ally in conference play since 2001. Ferentz said the Golden Panthers appeard to have become a more mature foot- ball team during their 40-10 loss to Kansas last week in con- trast to film he has watched from Florida International’s 1- 11 campaign a year ago. With the comparison being made between Florida Interna- tional and Purdue’s offenses, the Hawkeye coaches have actually looked at Purdue film to help them gear up for Satur- day’s contest. “We’ve already went back and looked at some of the stuff. Didn’t like what we saw last year, obviously,” Ferentz said. “You can just see some Purdue flavor to their offense now.” Tickets remain According to Iowa’s Sports Information Department, 1,700 tickets are still available for Saturday’s game, and it is expected to be sold out by the 11 a.m. kickoff. If so, it would be the 32nd-consecutive sellout at Kinnick Stadium.
