GENEVA
Germany newsmagazine Der Spiegel claims that the U.N. agency in charge of preserving historical sites has for years exposed online the personal data of tens of thousands of job-seekers.
The report says the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization inadvertently makes available to online readers the information that applicants for jobs and internships fill out on its website.
The online records contain home addresses, cell phone numbers, previous salaries and other personal information that are "potentially rich pickings for data thieves," the newsmagazine says.
It says such data has been exposed for as much as five years.
UNESCO's press office at its Paris headquarters had no immediate comment Friday.
