California state worker probed in ID security breach
SacBee ^ | July 10, 2008 | Andrew McIntosh

A state worker recently married to a member of the Mexican Mafia who is in Corcoran State Prison for a gang murder is herself under investigation for downloading more than 5,000 names, addresses and Social Security numbers belonging to Department of Consumer Affairs staff, The Bee has learned.

The Department of Consumer Affairs disclosed that it suffered a data security breach last month, but at the time released few details about the incident.

Officials sent a letter to employees, warning them to watch their credit for signs of identity theft, offering them free credit reports and $25,000 worth of fraud insurance.

Court documents obtained by The Bee show the department's own investigators have raided the Sacramento home of Rachael Rivas Dumbrique, a 32-year-old former Consumer Affairs personnel specialist, as part of an ongoing criminal investigation.

Investigators are looking at why Dumbrique copied a confidential data roster with employee names, addresses and Social Security numbers and then shipped it to a private e-mail account on her last day of work at Consumer Affairs in June. They also want to know if her gang-linked husband had any involvement, the court documents show.

Dumbrique has since joined the Department of Mental Health, where she was at work Wednesday as a staff services analyst in the department's personnel office, spokeswoman Kirsten Deichert confirmed. She declined further comment.

I think Dumbrique should be committed by the Department of Mental Health.

The California Department of Consumer Affairs numbers more than 5,000 people? Good grief.

And what important work do these people do?

I hate to think how many people work for the Department of Mental Health. Or how many other Departments there are in the Great State of California.

And don’t forget the additional access of medical records the Dept. of Mental Health lends! Probably insurance info too.

She could have used a jump drive she could have bought at Target for $5.99. Not that the cops wouldn’t figure it out eventually, but emails convict without a doubt. A jump drive can belong to anybody. It’s not required to be registered.

I’m familiar with removable drives. I didn’t understand what pray4liberty meant.

My recollection is that in the last 20 years they had an employee in DMV providing them the addresses of cops and an attorney in the AGs office in Sacramento.

I’ve always heard them called “thumb drives”,,,

The kids in some schools actually use them instead of books.

I have 2 that I’m afraid to use on this damnvista...;0/

It(Jump drive) also means this :

Why does the State of California have the spouse of a member of the Mexican Mafia working for it anyhow?

The Department of Consumer Affairs is the primary professional licensing agency for the State of California. I find it very amusing that the folks that are so cavalier with personal information about license holders is upset when personal information about themselves is possibly loose. I guess that what is good for the goose isn't good for the gander.

Illegal gang members need drivers licenses, social security cards, passports, and a library card.

Remember, they are coming here to work.

I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.

Thanks. I’m a Star Trek fan. This is what happens when the wires get crossed in the instrument panel in my Geek brain.
