VT: Barton employee info may have been compromised

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Dissent

Gina Bullard reports:

The town of Barton is reporting a security breach that may have exposed personal information.

Vermont State Police were notified and the town is contacting about 150 people who could be affected.
