Suit filed over Ohio Web site
Posted on Mar 3, 2006 by Tom Fragala
A follow up to my post yesterday about the OH Secretary of State web site…
The revelation that hundreds, if not thousands of Ohioans' Social Security numbers are available on the secretary of state's Web site triggered politically charged debate Thursday - and at least one lawsuit.
But at the end of the day - 36 hours after The Enquirer first reported the privacy problem in certain business records - the identifying numbers remained posted online.
Thirty-six hours after the first public report and nothing has been done? What are they waiting for? Can you imagine the outcry if a private sector enterprise had acting this way?
More: The Enquirer - Suit filed over Web site. Another thought…can we call this a “data breach” if there’s no actual breach per se; the OH Secretary of State knowingly published the data!
