US disaster relief agency exposed private data of 2.3m survivors bbc.com

The US Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) exposed 2.3 million disaster survivors to possible identity theft, according to a new report. The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General said Fema improperly shared personal records. Survivors of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria and the 2017 California wildfires were put at risk. Fema admitted the leak but said it had found no evidence that the improperly shared data was compromised.
