An investigation into two recent laptop computer thefts from the Transportation Department’s Office of Inspector General has helped uncover a ring of laptop thieves, according to the latest status report on the incidents.More here.
On July 27, someone stole an OIG special agent’s laptop from a locked car near Miami. The laptop contained personally identifiable information about 133,000 Florida residents. Following that episode, officials reviewed an April theft of an OIG laptop that occurred in Orlando, Fla. That laptop belonged to the special agent-in-charge of the Miami OIG office.
It took several weeks for computer crime forensics experts to check the Orlando laptop’s backup files for sensitive personally identifiable information (SPII), OIG spokesman Clayton Boyce said today.
