Personal information of hundreds of former Shelby County District Attorney’s Office employees was inadvertently distributed via email this past Monday to current employees of the office. The Daily Memphian reports that an emailed spreadsheet contained the names, birthdays and full Social Security numbers of nearly 300 former employees dating back to December 2013. It also included whether the employee was terminated and the cause for termination. The email allegedly came from someone outside of the human relations office. District Attorney General Steve Mulroy said in a statement that the technology department acted quickly to address the issue by recalling the email, identifying those who opened it and retrieving the spreadsheet. The office also is reaching out to former employees to alert them of the incident.
