Client files with PI found in Dumpster

Files containing clients' Social Security numbers and bank account information were found dumped outside the former office of Thomas Rasmussen near 4700 S. Highland Drive. One of those files contained Shell's information.

“This is big. This is a violation of my privacy and of my security,” Shell said. "You just don’t know what’s going to come back to bite you.”

State statute requires businesses to notify customers of electronic data breaches, but if the data are on paper and it is stolen or discarded, there's no such requirement.
