California ACORN Responds to Revelation of Massive Doc Dump, Data Breach at Its San Diego Office
by Publius
From NBClosangeles.com:
When reached for comment, Amy Schur of ACORNs state office, explained why the paperwork was in the trash.
In early October, when our San Diego staff were doing an office clean-up in preparation for a major 10-station phone bank program being set up in our offices, it appears that included in the piles of garbage being thrown out may have been some documents containing private information, Schur wrote in an e-mail to NBCSanDiego. To the individuals whose paperwork was pulled out of the dumpster by this guy Derrick Roach unsuccessful Republican candidate for State Rep in San Diego we truly apologize. We will seek return of this information so that we may give proper notice of the compromising of the information as required by law.
When asked about ACORNs policy for disposing of sensitive documents, Schur said, It is ACORNs policy to shred documents with personal information at the point when they no longer need to be retained.
Schur confirms the ACORN office was aware of Browns upcoming visit but said that did not prompt the removal of thousands of documents.
Absolutely not. Our files were not part of the scope of the visit by the Attorney Generals office, and the majority of what was thrown out was junk old leaflets, newsletters, etc It looks like our staff were careless and some documents with personal information were included in the piles of garbage, Schur wrote.
