The Transportation Security Administration is warning 1,195 of its
former employees that a contractor may have mailed their Social
Security numbers and birth dates to the wrong addresses and left them
open to identity fraud.

The error, acknowledged in letters the TSA mailed in late August to
each of the former employees, is the latest in a series of data
breaches that may have exposed workers in both private and government
jobs to identity thieves.
