Government employees continue to breach privacy of individuals
According to Gazette.net, a Maryland Department of Human Resources employee
has been fired for posting about 3,000 names, Social Security numbers and other
personal information on his personal website.
The information, which belonged to department clients who use food stamps,
housing programs and other social services provided by the state, had been
posted on the employee’s website since April 27. The site has since been removed
and there is no indication that the information has been misused.
The Baltimore Sun reports that a DHR spokeswoman, says it is unclear why
he used the data in an unauthorized way.
The incident is still under investigation and no decision has been made yet
about whether criminal charges will be filed.
