http://www.wtol.com/Global/story.asp?S=6574415 The Franklin County recorder's office has shut down links to online mortgage documents out of concern that some contained Social Security numbers vulnerable to identity thieves. A statement on the site says the images have been removed until a further audit can be completed and the numbers can be masked. Most of the documents of concern are from the 1990s. The links to the mortgage documents were removed Friday. Hamilton County has already run into trouble with Social Security numbers online. Eight people were indicted last year on charges they gleaned the numbers from a county Web site and used them to ring up about a half-million dollars in fraudulent spending.
