Thanks to kirniki over at DataLoss DB for a tip-off about a rather ironic breach. In this case, the Social Security Numbers of 969 people were breached by the Social Security Administration itself when an employee lost a presumably-unencrypted “computer disc” while traveling to Queens from the Bronx back in October.

The Queens Chronicle reports that the information also included administrative decisions, medical evidence, and internal agency documents, along with the names and SSNs.

The administration is offering three years of credit protection to all the victims.
