"...We have determined that information pertaining to participants in the state's pharmacy benefits management program, including information such as names, Social Security numbers, addresses and phone numbers of employees and the names and Social Security numbers of their dependents, may be contained in the device," Strickland said in a press release.
Ron Sylvester, spokesman for the Department of Administrative Services, said on Saturday that a preliminary analysis indicated that more than 50,000 employees and about 75,000 dependents could be affected.
Other files with sensitive information may also be on the tape, Sylvester said.
