<prompt> Human: Hello everyone, I know theres a lot of information in the sidebar and it might be due to sheer panic or just the size of this but I am not sure what to do. I contacted the technical school I attended to get my tax information because they never sent it to me. They emailed it to me, as well as the tax information of 143 other students. I got Social Security numbers, addresses, and for people under 18 I also got their parents first and last names. I am not sure if I am the only person who got this information or if they have sent this to other people as well. Should I lock up my credit? Should I tell the IRS that this information is just being handed out?Can I report the school for this somewhere?  <response>: Let the school know immediately so they can rectify this matter. Schools are obligated to report such instances to those affected by the release of information and should do so to avoid having external agencies find out and pursue them. You can inquire how such an action occurred and if you are personally a victim of their negligence by having your information released in a similar manner. If you dont get the answered you seek, you can always file shit. Retain the information received and hold them accountability for such actions. If its a mistake, they would fix it as oppose to burrowing it away.
