#3I found one social security number in 30 seconds of looking. I have not attempted to look for more, yet.
This is DEPLORABLE.
If anyone cares about information security and is considering voting for this idiot, please reconsider.
I say "idiot" intentionally. Whatever else I may think of him, on any topic, this move alone is idiotic. The fact that his advisers didn't stop him from doing this speaks so poorly of them.

#4Well, to be fair, the identity theft demographic can be productive in generating votes.

I'm not a fan of Jeb Bush either, but what do you think of their released statement?

It sounds to me like this is an issue with Florida policy if this sensitive data could be accessed freely already, even if they hadn't released it in this public manner.
There are many places where the blame could be laid, including in the case of SSN leakage state employees that put these SSN's into emails instead of keeping them in a safe location in a secure HR system. At any rate I don't think that Jeb Bush is the only one at fault here.

Social security numbers shouldn’t be emailed in the first place. That data was insecure from the moment the send button was clicked.
Publishing it _again_ is only marginally stupider than sending it in the first place.

> Social security numbers held by an agency are confidential and exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution. This exemption applies to social security numbers held by an agency before, on, or after the effective date of this exemption. This exemption does not supersede any federal law prohibiting the release of social security numbers or any other applicable public records exemption for social security numbers existing prior to May 13, 2002, or created thereafter.
> Social security numbers held by an agency may be disclosed if any of the following apply:
None of those things apply.
My reading is that the Governor has illegally revealed confidential information.

Many of the Social Security numbers in these emails were sent to Jeb Bush, not by him.

That’s kind of my point. The original sender compromised the info.
