Long story short: dumbass who works for MARTA sends personal information of 785 employees to incorrect recipients, such as dates of births and social security numbers.
I love how the article cites terms such as “data breach,” “mechanical malfunction” and “equipment malfunction” to describe what’s basically some idiot not being mindful of the recipient field in what was probably just email.
Furthermore, I’m more surprised that MARTA actually has 785 employees. Based on the perpetual tardiness of trains, buses, and the sheer lack of visible security, maintenance and workers throughout the entire company, I’d have guessed MARTA had more like, 85 employees in total. Then again, the other 700 are probably the sock puppet names on payroll to cash checks and leech the city of money to line their pockets, but I digress.
