Posted on May 27, 2011 by Dissent

Diana Lambert reports:

If you had Googled the name Darlene Geist in the last six months, you might have been able to find her Social Security number online.

Geist is among 4,000 San Juan Unified employees and former employees who are receiving letters from the district this week informing them that their confidential information was compromised.

An employee in the school district’s human resources department copied the sensitive data onto a flash drive to do work at home, said Trent Allen, San Juan Unified spokesman. She then inadvertently uploaded it onto her church website while doing volunteer work, he said.
