The Georgia Department of Labor has accidentally compromised the personal information of 4,457 people who filed for unemployment claims in the state, including their email addresses. The organization mistakenly sent out a spreadsheet with the names, Social Security numbers, telephone numbers and email addresses of these unemployed folks to about 1,000 people via email. The organization said an employee error caused the leak, and is encouraging recipients not to open the email.
