Names, birth dates, and social security numbers of various healthcare workers were posted on Valley Baptist Medical Center's web site late last week. The personal information came from an online application filled out by workers who provide services and bill the hospital. The mistake was first discovered by a Houston resident visiting the web site. "I was shocked, " says Maria Hinojosa. A victim of identity theft herself, Hinojosa says she realized something was very wrong. Hinojosa provided NEWSCHANNEL 5 with four names of the potential 73 victims.
