DW received a letter from her employer today. To sum it up. A computer repair shop received a laptop that needed repair. This computer had ssn numbers and various other information from my DW's work. They contacted DW employer regarding this information. DW was one of thousands who ssn and various other information that was on this laptop. According to DW employers "computer techs" This harddrive has not been accessed since 2007 other than this computer repair company. It was lost or stolen. We dont have all the information yet.
Anywhoo the company is offering free credit monitoring for a year and a hotline to address any concerns. What frosts my cookies a smidge. Why are company people allowed to even take home a computer with this information on it without the proper security?
We checked DW credit and it is fine. I guess we will take them up on the free year monitoring. Makes me wonder what kind of system they run with laptop security.
