IRS employee brought home ‘sensitive’ data on 20,000 individuals

“An Internal Revenue Service employee took home an unencrypted thumb drive containing ‘sensitive’ data about thousands of agency current and former employees in 2007, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen on Tuesday. The agency stressed that the incident was not a breach of their security system but a single employee erroneously connecting the thumb drive onto a home computer. The data does not contain ‘general taxpayer information or records,’ the IRS said in a statement.”
