An Australian government official made the mistake that is every office workers’ nightmare: an autofill mistake causing an email to go to the wrong person.
Except in this person’s case, the mistaken email exposed the personal details of 31 world leaders, including President Barack Obama.
“The cause of the breach was human error,” said an email sent to the Australian privacy commissioner and obtained by The Guardian under freedom of information laws... excerpted
The exposed data included not only names and dates of birth, but passport numbers and visa details as well.
On Monday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Eric Schultz told reporters the administration is “looking into [the reports] and we’ll take all appropriate steps necessary to ensure the privacy and security of the president’s personal information.” excerpted

No matter the cause — obama will find a way to make it cost US the taxpayers more.
I wonder what his previous passport(s) showed? The passports from before he had his thugs rifle through the files c. 2008.
The last time someone breached Obama’s passport records was in 2008 before Obama usurped the throne. The breacher was later found murdered. No doubt those records have since been scrubbed. Some argue that was Brennan’s job.
p.s. The homicide victim’s given name is Lieutenant. Harris was not a soldier.

Key witness in passport fraud case fatally shot
A key witness in a federal probe into passport information stolen from the State Department was fatally shot in front of a District church, the Metropolitan Police Department said yesterday.
Lt. Quarles Harris Jr., 24, who had been cooperating with a federal investigators, was found late Thursday night slumped dead inside a car, in front of the Judah House Praise Baptist Church in Northeast, said Cmdr. Michael Anzallo, head of the department’s Criminal Investigations Division.
Cmdr. Anzallo said a police officer was patrolling the neighborhood when gunshots were heard, then Lt. Harris was found dead inside the vehicle, which investigators would describe only as a blue car.
Emergency medics pronounced him dead at the scene.
City police said they do not know whether his death was a direct result of his cooperation with federal investigators.
“We don’t have any information right now that connects his murder to that case,” Cmdr. Anzallo said.
Police say a “shot spotter” device helped an officer locate Lt. Harris.
A State Department spokeswoman yesterday declined to comment, saying the investigation into the passport fraud is ongoing.
The Washington Times reported April 5 that contractors for the State Department had improperly accessed passport information for presidential candidates Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and John McCain, which resulted in a series of firings that reached into the agency’s top ranks.
One agency employee, who was not identified in documents filed in U.S. District Court, was implicated in a credit-card fraud scheme after Lt. Harris told federal authorities he obtained “passport information from a co-conspirator who works for the U.S. Department of State.” (W.Times 2008)
So let us all see the exposed stuff.../s
It’s gotta be April 1st somewhere. Don’t bite...
I wouldn’t doubt it for a second....there were billions....trillions at stake.
Obama’s life and identification credentials were fabricated from the ground up years ago by lawyers and cronies who released the narrative of his phony ID to the media. Anything on his “official” passport isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
Nahhh.....just Hillary making a counter move....
Now *that’s* an angle I hadn’t even considered.
Given that the birther stuff originated in the Hillary camp.
Too bad her bag of tricks is empty: the left made even the consideration of that topic, radioactive.
The story is probably a hoax. Obama has no personal details.
obummer has no Indonesian passport data neither- it disappeared 7 years ago from Jakarta govt. immigrasi files by his agents. but depending upon which city he entered the USA again, those passport records would be there in the Indo consulate office because his stepfather was an indo citizen. Guess where those passport records are now? Hawaii?
