The Washington Post says that the amount of social security numbers exposed on an Agriculture Department website last week is less than originally thought. Here is a link to the original story for those of you that missed it.

Federal officials initially feared that as many as 150,000 Social Security numbers had been exposed by the security breach, discovered by Illinois farmer Marsha Bergmeier. The numbers were promptly removed after she reported her find to the government on April 13.
