Personal Information of Nearly Two Million Texans Exposed.
The personal information of nearly two million Texans was exposed for nearly three years due to a programming issue at the Texas Department of Insurance (TDI).
The department revealed that details of 1.8 million workers who have filed compensation claims were publicly available online from March 2019 to January 2022 in a state audit report published last week. This included Social Security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers and information about workers’ injuries.
In a public notice on March 24, the TDI said it first became aware of a security issue with a TDI web application that manages workers’ compensation information on January 4 2022. This issue enabled members of the public to access a protected part of the online application.
