Personal Info of 3.5 Million Texans Was Publicly Accessible
SpaceGhost writes "The Houston Chronicle reports, 'Personal information of about 3.5 million Texans — including names, mailing addresses and Social Security numbers — was posted on a publicly accessible server at the state comptroller's office, much of it for more than a year.' Many of the records were for retired teachers and the unemployed, and they sometimes included DOB and drivers license numbers."

Comptroller Susan Combs was too busy massaging reports about the financial state of Texas to help re-elect republicans based on "The Texas Miracle" (the supposed superiority of Texas financial management).
