If you’ve been following this Stanley Baker Hill DAAR (SBH) Social Security number release of information fiasco, you know the original post drew nearly 200 very emotional, angry comments. Most regarding the total lack of concern on the part of SBH management about the disclosure of their personal information to those who have no need to know. Some threatening comments directed at those who exposed this breach could not published but were forwarded. I received countless emails from concerned people wanting to know if they were on the list because no one was ever officially notified of the breach. (click HERE for that original post)
Evidently some Human Resources manager by the name of Bruce Dawson is sending out the following email to people who were on the original list of 269 names and SS# that was email out by Thomas Koch on January 20, 2009. Hopefully he is sending this email out to EVERYONE on the list. At least then they will be officially notified.

Please see attachment document regarding important information about possible release of Social Security Number. Please enter the word “budget” in the partner/promo code box to reduce the cost from $110 to $99. Doing so will extend your protection to thirteen months.
Thank you.

I read the entire attachment and this is what I get out of it…correct me if you think I am wrong.
1. SBH feels there was no breach of personal information when Thomas Koch emailed out the names and SS# of 269 people to 106 email addresses. Many of which were anonymous private email accounts such as yahoo and gmail.
2. SBH feels the only issue is that “someone” violated their non disclosure agreement by sending the information to someone not working on Stanley Baker Hill’s contract. So, because SBH didn’t address the employee concerns and someone felt they needed to find assistance from outside the company they are made to be the villain. That is truly a KBR management style. That line between SBH and KBR is getting fuzzier and fuzzier.
3. Then they add…”This appears to have been done within the last few weeks.” All I can say to that is….then someone else has the list as well.
4. The letter goes on to state “As an immediate first step….” What a joke you people are. It’s been 9 months. And now you’re pretending to be all proactive only because they forced your hand.
Nearly 9 months later and this is the best SBH could come up with. My God. No wonder things are messed up. Is this the same level of concern you put into the management of your electrical inspections? Where in the hell is the DoD?
I do hope that SBH is making a concerted effort to contact each and every person on the list. That would be the one positive thing that comes out of this mess.
It’s time to let the victims chime in. Do you feel this is an adequate response to the initial breach and the 9 months of “It’s no big deal” responses?
