Pitney Bowes and Indiana Department of Workforce Development investigating misdirection of personal data

Similar to the recent New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development data breach, the Indiana Department of Workforce Development has also recently sent unemployment benefit information to the wrong companies.

Indiana’s Department of Workforce Development is working with print vendor Pitney Bowes in order to investigate the situation and notify those who may have been affected.

With this information in the wrong hands, identity theft can occur and ruin these unemployed residents’ credit and financial future.

Letters are being sent to those collecting unemployment from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development notifying them of the data misdirection and encouraging them to use credit monitoring services to ensure their data has not been use incorrectly.
