On that page begins a list of more than 600 persons nominated for military promotions, along with their Social Security numbers, for anyone to use and abuse."

—Privacy Journal, December 1996. Privacy Journal is a monthly newsletter featuring often ahead-of-the-curve reporting on privacy issues ranging from use of Social Security numbers to computer encryption to credit reports, including updates on the latest privacy action in Congress and the courts. Privacy Journal, P.O. Box 28577, Providence RI 02908. A year's subscription is $118.
