Social Security Numbers of Nearly 50,000 Californians Disclosed

The L.A. Times reports:

California health officials have accidentally disclosed the Social Security numbers of nearly 50,000 of the state’s most vulnerable residents.

The numbers were printed on the outside of envelopes sent to elderly patients of the Adult Day Health Care program, many of whom are blind or have Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive disabilities. The Department of Health Care Services sent the envelopes, which contained change-of-benefit notices, Feb. 1.

The God that failed.
