Same day, different email attachment gaffe

Posted on January 24, 2014 by Dissent

And yet another email attachment gaffe to report today, this one involving Apex Systems, whose employee accidentally appended a spreadsheet with employees’ names, Social Security numbers, and salary information to an email sent on December 1.  The mistake was discovered on December 24.

The notification sent to Maryland’s Attorney General and affected employees does not indicate to whom the email with errant information was sent or how many employees were affected, total. The company is offering those affected two years of free services with AllClear.
