Printing Gaffe Exposes Personal Information

BATON ROUGE, LA—A printing job mailed out by the Louisiana Department of Revenue accidentally exposed the personal information of nearly 300 taxpayers to other people with tax debts, according to the Associated Press. The department said letters that were mailed to taxpayers who owed money included the name, address, social security number and debt amount for a different taxpayer on the other side of the document. The state agency says it has no reason to suspect the personal information has been misused.
