Virginia's auditor during an audit of surplus computers found the following information on old computers being auctioned to the public:

  • Vaccination information;
  • Women Infant and Children (WIC) personal information;
  • Personnel evaluations of individuals;
  • Personnel records of grievances of individuals;
  • Scholastic evaluations of individually identifiable students; and
  • Personal credit card number of a Dean of a college.

With all the effort spent to comply with HIPAA, other privacy laws, and standard information security, this is one hole that needs to be plugged everywhere, not just in Virginia.
