FEMA put 2,300,000 survivors of hurricanes and wildfires at risk of identity theft, watchdog says
The problem occurred when FEMA unnecessarily released to a private contractor personal information of people applying for transitional housing in 2017. The breach violated the Privacy Act of 1974, the report said.
FEMA, the agency which provides relief to U.S. citizens following major disasters, provided its contractor with"more than 20 unnecessary data fields for survivors participating in the sheltering program," the March 15 report states.
