MN: Data breach suspected at Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office

Posted on October 31, 2014 by Dissent

Sarah Stultz reports:

Freeborn County administration is investigating a suspected data breach within law enforcement, according to Administrator John Kluever.

He said he and other information technology staff are looking into the possibility that someone was unnecessarily viewing open investigation files and disseminating parts of those files in the public.

He declined to comment on how the suspected breach was discovered and whether it has any connection to the upcoming election in the Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office.
