Florida's Broward County Posts Residents' Sensitive Data On Public Web Site

The county or any governmental agency has a fiduciary responsibility to protect a person's privacy.  That is the greater good over even legal requirements to display documents as part of the public records available through the Internet.  Hopefully, they can address this issue by blocking all sensitive information that might be part of the document presentation requirements.

QUOTE:  APRIL 11, 2006  (COMPUTERWORLD)  - The Social Security numbers, driver's license information and bank account details belonging to potentially millions of current and former residents of Florida are available to anyone on the Internet because sensitive information has not been redacted from public records being posted on county Web sites. 

A Florida state statute that requires county officials to post images of certain official documents online has led to the public exposure of sensitive data on potentially millions of current and former residents in Broward County.
