Another Laptop Theft
An employee of Fidelity investments had his/her laptop stolen on March 15; it held data on 200,000 retirement accounts, including name and social security number. According to MSN:
"It is unusual to have so much information on one laptop, Fidelity spokeswoman Anne Crowley said, but the computer in question was brought to a business meeting by a team of employees. "
Apparently not unusual enough. Why in the world would anyone need data on 200,000 customers at a meeting? Why take the risk? Must have been a long meeting.
