Dallas County has been exposing tens of thousands of people’s SSN and details for more than a decade – CBS

Posted on November 24, 2015 by Dissent

CBS Dallas isn’t revealing details because, despite their warnings to the county for 6 months and despite assurances from the county that it would address the problem, Dallas County still hasn’t secured the personal information of tens of thousands of North Texans. Personal information, including Social Security Numbers, addresses, dates of birth, and driver’s license numbers have reportedly been exposed on a public web site for more than a decade.
