State of Maryland Mailing Containing Personal Information of Employees Turns up Empty

April 23, 2009

It’s never good when mail arrives from the United States Postal Office and is delivered empty. This happened in the State of Maryland, where personal information of Maryland state employees was mailed through USPS. The envelope arrived at it’s destination, but the contents did not.

It is unknown where the information is, but it definitely did not make it where it was supposed to go. The employees’ union is very upset at the incident, and it is highly likely that sensitive information like this will no longer be sent by mail and will be transferred electronically to reduce the risk to those at stake.

Employees should monitor their credit reports or enroll in a credit monitoring service.
