A digital file containing the names and Social Security numbers of 8,600
people was mistakenly sent to 49 Johnson County employees on July 1. The
details were released today.
The information was maintained in
Johnson County’s payroll database. The file was inadvertently attached
to an e-mail sent to the 49 employees. County officials said the error was
discovered in less than an hour and all recipients were asked to delete the
attachment.
An investigation of the incident concluded there was very
minimal risk of disclosure or misuse of the information.
Deputy County
Manager Hannes Zacharias said officials met with all 49 recipients to
confirm that no information was reproduced.
