The Sheriff’s Office in Mesa County, Colorado mistakenly posted a database containing names, Social Security numbers and contact information on confidential drug informants, suspects, and victims in criminal investigations. The data was available on the site from April to late November, when it was finally removed after an individual notified the Sheriff’s office about finding his records popping up in a Google search. In all, more than 200,000 files are believed to have been placed on the FTP site, a spokeswoman said. Not all of the files contained the same data, while some might have contained more sensitive data.”]
