Security breach at TSA exposes employee data
Posted on Sep 6, 2006 by Tom Fragala
The Transportation Security Administration suffers a data breach. No point in noting the irony. USAToday has the story.
The Transportation Security Administration is warning 1,195 of its former employees that a contractor may have mailed their Social Security numbers and birth dates to the wrong addresses and left them open to identity fraud.
The error, acknowledged in letters the TSA mailed in late August to each of the former employees, is the latest in a series of data breaches that may have exposed workers in both private and government jobs to identity thieves.
