Alabama Department of Labor fixes app after personal information revealed

• The Alabama Department of Labor fixed a problem with an app on its website that exposed personal information to others.
• The ABC 33/40 I-Team alerted the state labor department after a viewer contacted us.

The problem involved the Alabama Labor Department’s Unemployment Insurance Claim Tracker and a newly launched Pandemic Unemployment Assistance app on its website. The app is designed to process claims faster.
