TX: Personal info still being discarded and dumped improperly

Posted on April 2, 2018 by Dissent

Courtney Schoenemann reports that a security analyst who goes dumpster diving in his spare time, came across a filing cabinet of account receivables from an Austin home remodeling company that had been dumped by an as-yet unnamed company:

“Their routing numbers, bank account numbers, some had their driver’s license numbers on their checks. Everything you would need to recreate those,” Malone said.

 

Employee W-2’s were also dumped.  You can read more on CBS.
