SSN printed on mailing labels at Univ of Maryland

This is the kind of breach that makes you go “huh”? The Breach Blog tells a sad tale of mailing labels gone awry:

On July 1st, 2008, the University of Maryland Department of Transportation Services mailed an on-campus parking brochure to all students registered for Fall 2008 classes as of June 15, 2008. Recipient Social Security numbers were inadvertently exposed on the mailing labels.

I hope the regulators fine the DoT for every label. Everyone knows the DoT love to hand out violations, so fair is fair. On the other hand, they might incorporate the fine by raising parking violation fees…
