Dallas County officials are scrambling to understand the extent of a potentially massive data breach after it was learned that personal information remained...
Personal information stored on some county computers could be compromised, after the county sold thousands of computers at auction, some of which still held data.
Some of the computers were used by the sheriff’s department and contained data from the county’s internal criminal justice information system, the digital database of criminal cases used by prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges. It is unclear how many devices have been affected, whether other departments’ information may have been compromised, where the computers went and who is responsible for the improperly disposed information. The county also has not said when the computers were auctioned.
“I think the sheriff is correct to be concerned about information that may have remained on computers and gone somewhere else,” he said. “We should all be concerned.”County staff told the sheriff’s department that steps have been implemented to mitigate the situation, Carter said.
