A worker in the Manchester branch of a national company that provides
temporary office workers was working in the company's database when she
mistakenly sent a mass e-mail showing employees' computer addresses and
Social Security numbers, officials said.

The worker tried sending e-mails to recall the message, but it was too
late, officials said.

The e-mail originated from the Manchester branch of Officeteam.

Company officials said it was a mistake' the worker was trying to send an
e-mail about job opportunities when she mistakenly sent the one with
personal information.

Officeteam says it's notifying everyone listed in the e-mail and will
assist with credit monitoring and identity theft insurance.
