(WHAS11) - For the second time in less than a week hundreds of people in Kentuckiana are worrying about identity theft after their employer accidentally released their social security numbers.
A few days ago it happened in Bullitt County schools and now it’s Baptist Hospital East.
350 names of hospital employees appear on this list that was circulated in an e-mail and so do their social security numbers.
When WHAS11 called people on the list, every one of them was stunned it was out there.
Baptist won't say how many people received this list at the hospital but they say it was supposed to be a reminder to managers about which nurses needed to renew their medical licenses.
In a statement, Baptist East says quote:
"First and foremost, we want to apologize to the 350 employees affected by this error. As soon as we learned that confidential employee information was unknowingly sent to nursing leadership,
We acted immediately to prevent the information from being shared. We can assure our employees that this was a single, isolated occurrence."
