Personal information about licenses and unemployment – including names, addresses, birth dates, credit card and Social Security numbers – was left relatively unguarded on computers at the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, and may have been targeted for fraud, according to legislative auditors.

Most of the problems were in the administrative computer systems, which handle professional licenses and unemployment insurance.
“If you’re going to accept payments with credit cards, you have to have controls in place,” said Legislative Auditor Bruce Myers.
