Abstract
A mistake by a University of Toledo employee exposes employee information to all employees. An employee accidentally moved 44 files containing the personal information of 6,488 University of Toledo employees to an internal server accessible by all UT employees. The files contained payroll information including name, address and Social Security numbers. Most of the information was on employees of UT Health Science Center in 1993 and 1999. The files were discovered by an IT employee the day after they were moved to the wrong folder. While the university believes the chance of anyone accessing the information were slim, officials sent letters to all affected individuals.
