Ken Westin, Security Analyst for Tripwire comments on addresses, SSNs, phone numbers inadvertently released by Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush:
“For someone who refers to himself as “The eGovernor” the leaking of this data with redacting personal information of his correspondents, either reflects technical ignorance or lack of respect for their privacy. Although the intent behind releasing the data is to show a level of transparency, it also reflects a carelessness with regards to how the information is being released. Many who were in communication with former Florida Governor Jeb Bush may not be aware that their communications could be made public, so may have disclosed personal information and stories that they do not wish the publicto be aware of, but now they are, along with names, addresses, emails, phone numbers and in some cases even Social Security Numbers.” Ken Westin, Security Analyst.
