[CCoE Notice] UHS Sensitive Data Advisory - Employee W-2 information

[Charles John Young Jr.]

To:  All Cullen College employees

It is once again tax time, and many of you will be downloading your W-2 
forms, and even preparing and submitting your income tax returns online.

You should be aware that all of these activities can leave copies of your 
personal financial information, including you Social Security Number, your 
full name and address, and possibly other sensitive information on the 
computer(s) you use.  The existence of such information on a workplace 
computer can make you vulnerable to identity theft.

You are strongly encouraged to take special care to check for and remove 
any such data that may be on your workplace computer(s), using the 
Identity Finder software.  I have addressed the faculty and staff of most 
departments in the College on how to use this software; if you do not have 
this software on your computer, or if you have questions regarding its 
use, please contact either me or Kiet Luong.  The University has directed 
that this software be installed on all UH computers for which it is 
available (currently, Windows and Mac OS X), but it is up to each of you 
to scan your computers periodically to check your own data.

Please let us know if you need assistance.

Be safe.
