Courtesy InfoSec News and WK http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/273650_hanfsecurity13.html By SHANNON DININNY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS June 13, 2006 The U.S. Energy Department has warned about 4,000 current and former workers at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation that their personal information may have been compromised, after police found a 1996 list with workers' names and other information in a home during an unrelated investigation. The discovery marks the second time in less than a week that the Energy Department has warned employees and its contractors' employees that their personal information may have been compromised. Police in Yakima discovered the list while investigating an unrelated criminal matter, the Energy Department said, adding that the list included the names of people who worked for a former Hanford contractor, Westinghouse Hanford, who were transferring to Fluor Hanford or companies under contract to Fluor Hanford in 1996.
