Anti-Pension Group Opens the Door to ID Fraud

That's a harsh headline.  But it applies to any group that publishes info on the web - because it is technically legal  to obtain and publish it  - that identifies incomes of individuals.  And the same harsh headline applies to govt. salary data, not just pensions.  It applies whether there is a political objective, as in the pension case, or just a way to get eyeballs to a commercial website.  While there may be a case for such disclosures for top executives and elected officials, wholesale publication deserves harsh headlines.  For details on the latest such development, see:
