It seems that the government(s) can't help but to lose or unwittingly share such valuable information. Here in Ohio, the state had a consultant combining all of their databases. Seems like the hired help left an unattended disk drive in an unlocked car. On the carseat none the less.
The offending worker was fired after a lot of irate taxpayers issued complaints , and the consulting agency continues to get work.
I guess security on those systems are as good as any diary where the workers might want to look up interesting facts on people. You might as well send unsealed envelopes to those people.
