Sensitive information found on state surplus computers
Lawmakers expressed alarm Wednesday over a legislative report showing that confidential information was left on outdated state computers being released for sale to the public.
The Legislative Division of Post Audit found that several state agencies had failed to adequately remove sensitive data from some machines, including Social Security numbers and password files.
The computers had been turned over to a government office that disposes of excess state property for Topeka-based agencies, but they hadn't been sold.
