Saw this over at HNN

Private email messages were allegedly revealed on public website www.MyFlorida.com as the unnerving result of a "strange" computer glitch set off by web surfer, Jerry Haygood, typing the word "liscence" in the search box. Apparently, sensitive material was exposed, most of it being medically related. One of the victims, whose request for a phone number was revealed, warned against relaying any private information in writing over the Internet. File under weird.
