Florida County Posts Residents' Sensitive Data on Public Web Site
Jaikumar Vijayan writes on ComputerWorld:
The Social Security numbers, driver's license information and bank account details belonging to potentially millions of current and former residents in Florida's Broward County are available to anyone on the Internet because sensitive information has not been redacted from public records being posted on the county’s Web site.More here.
A county official said the information available on the Web is in full compliance with state statutes that require counties to post public documents on the Internet.
The information has been available on the Internet for several years and poses a serious risk of identity theft and fraud, said Bruce Hogman, a county resident who informed the Broward County Records Division of the problem about two weeks ago.
