    Monroe County's Clerk wanted TV cameras there when she made her announcement.

    "Good afternoon, everyone. Today, I am proud to announce that the county clerk's office has completed a review of our online office and has removed all Social Security numbers that were discovered," Dinolfo said.

    Except, all numbers weren't removed. Just minutes after her announcement, her political opponent, Democrat Tom Hasman, showed us that it doesn't take more than two minutes to find social security numbers from documents filed in 1993.

    "If she's pulled these numbers off the web site, than what are these doing here,” Hasman said.

    When we called and asked the county clerk to react. Her office says that Hasman is, β€œthe worst kind of politician, playing politics when he had information that could prevent identity theft. But Hasman says he did tell them.”

    "We sent her an email saying we've found additional numbers in family court, we gave the initial names we listed, we found five or six after doing a twenty minute search," Hasman said.

    The clerk's office says he didn't contact them directly, that they heard indirectly from constituents through Hasman's web site. Even with today's revelations, Clerk Dinolfo defends her office's work, that it's not easy scrubbing almost twenty million documents.

    "Each and everyday we take a look at the documents that are filed here in the county clerk's office, we will continue to review those documents, and we will continue to use the software that we've developed to secure the integrity of the database,” Dinolfo said.

    The clerk's office says all three of the Social Security numbers Hasman found today during his search have since been redacted.

    But Hasman says all this just proves that she can't watch over her own web site, and that she should not be trusted to watch over all the county's records.
