Obamacare Enrollment Process Raises Data Security Concerns
Insurance broker was accidentally emailed identifying information for 2,400 insurance agents
A MNsure employee accidentally sent an e-mail file to an Apple Valley insurance broker's office on Thursday that contained Social Security numbers, names, business addresses and other identifying information on more than 2,400 insurance agents.
An official at MNsure, the state's new online health insurance exchange, acknowledged it had mishandled private data. A MNsure security manager called the broker, Jim Koester, and walked him and his assistant through a process of deleting the file from their computer hard drives.
