Social Security Numbers Exposed in Chicago School Mailing
If you're new here and like what you read, you may want to subscribe to my email alerts or RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
A printing contractor for the Chicago Public Schools said Sunday that it mistakenly mailed a list of names, Social Security numbers and home addresses of nearly 1,740 former school employees as part of a packet of health-insurance information to them.
Broadview-based All Printing & Graphics Inc., which was hired to print, stuff and mail the packets, said it did not realize an e-mail from the Chicago Public Schools contained the personal data. The e-mail requested that the company send open enrollment information to former employees still receiving health-care coverage through the schools.
School officials encouraged anyone with concerns to call 773-553-2820 or e-mail them at communications@cps.k12.il.us.
