Social Security #'sChoice
While bored a lady was searching the internet for information on her interest group when she found her name on a government website with her Social Security number on it.
I think the AP article in the Houston Chronicle could have told the readers who found the number and how it happened sooner. This is what the Washington Post did. It kept the story a little more interesting by peppering the incident where she found the numbers throughout the story. The Chorinicle had more detailed information though. Especially, when they said that the credit monitoring the government was offering the people who were affected by this would cost tax payers $4 million. They also explained that this incident will probably help pass a federal law that would notify potential victims of disclosed or personal information. But the Post also had a lot of detail they just mostly focused on the debate around the incident, like a watchdog group calling the government on trying to suppress news about this (there's nothing to back this up though). And also with the government saying they would take full responsibility for this. These things were not mentioned in the chronicle.
