Jeb Bush accidentally uploaded thousands of Americans to 12 data

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, the son and brother of former US presidents, published by mistake personal data of more than 12 thousand people, reports Associated Press. Bush laid out the contents of his mail archive for the period from 1999 to 2007, when he worked as governor, guided by the principle of transparency of power and wishing to show himself as a technically savvy administrator who actively interacts with voters.

In total, 332 thousand 999 messages were posted, some of them had names, dates of birth and social security identifier numbers 12 thousand people. During this step, the politician has been criticized by activists who speak out on privacy. By Thursday, Bush’s assistants removed material with personal information, only a few hundred letters remained on the site.

Jeb Bush is seen as one of the possible candidates from the Republican Party for the nomination for the presidency of the United States in the next election.
