A data breach at the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Office.
The breach was brought to the attention of Sheriff Donna Buckley on Tuesday.
In a statement, the office says the matter was traced to an employee, and not an outside security threat.
The release went on to say the unnamed employee sent an email to a personal account, which included a spreadsheet that bore the names and personal information of one current and more than a hundred former employees.
The individual is on administrative leave; the state Attorney General’s Office has also been notified.
