California State Pension System Exposes Social Security Numbers on Print Brochures

The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) exposed all or part of the recipient's SSN on the address panel of a brochure sent to retirees. The error occurred when the staff did not recognize that the file contained social security numbers.

Approximately 445,000 retirees are affected.
