Thousands of employees’ personal information was sent right to a former Prime Communications employee’s email.
Prime Communications is an authorized retailer for AT&T.

According to Smith, she reached out to human resources for her 401k and employee profile.
However, that’s when she realized she got much more than that.

“I said, wait a second these are social security numbers, email addresses, home addresses,” she said. “It was one hundred and five pages of eight thousand different employees information.”
The employees were not just in Oklahoma either. It included the names of people from all over the nation.

The information now sits in her possession, where it’s been sitting for months.
“I emailed four or five times and I phoned three or four times,” Smith said.
“What if something happens to one of these people, someone’s identity gets stolen,” she said.
