Computer worker suspected in Utah 'list'

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"A computer specialist for a state agency has come under suspicion in the distribution of a list of 1,300 purported illegal immigrants.

A person familiar with the case identified the worker Thursday as Teresa Bassett, who works in the Utah Department of Workforce Services. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the individual was not authorized to release details about the investigation.

The Salt Lake Tribune first reported Bassett's identity.

Bassett could not immediately be reached for comment. An e-mail to her work address went unreturned Thursday. Department of Workforce Services spokesman Dave Lewis declined to comment on the employee's identity and said that department workers were told not to comment on the case to reporters.

The immigrant list that was mailed to news media and law enforcement contains Social Security numbers, birth dates, workplaces, addresses and phone numbers. Names of children are included, along with due dates of pregnant women."
