Arkansas criminal background checks potentially exposed

The Arkansas Department of Information Systems (DIS) was informed at the end of January that a vendor providing secure off-site storage for electronic records and computer files was unable to locate a DIS computer tape in its inventory. The tape contained information from criminal-background checks run on approximately 807,000 people over at least 12 years. Call 888-682-0411 if you think there's a possibility that your info could be on the list. There's probably a HB1051 joke that Greenberg could make somewhere in there.
