MO: Envelope glitch gives peek at data

Posted on January 20, 2010 by Dissent

Janese Heavin reports:

Rex Cone is always concerned about identity theft. So he was especially worried when he received a tax form from the University of Missouri last week that allowed his Social Security number to be displayed through the envelope’s window.

“With all of the public service announcements saying to look out for your Social Security number, here they’ve displayed mine in the mail,” he said this morning.
