H&R Block Mailing Reveals Customers' SSNs

Paul F. Roberts writes on eWeeK:

Some H&R Block customers who received free copies of the company's TaxCut software also had their Social Security numbers exposed, according to a company spokesperson.

H&R Block sent a letter to customers in late December saying that a tracking number used on packages containing TaxCut contained the customer's Social Security number as part of a unique, 47-digit tracking number.
