The computer contained confidential data, including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, and other personnel information, such as hire and termination dates, according to a Dec. 6 letter Deloitte sent to victims. Some of the information belonged to people working at Deloitte subsidiaries.
The laptop, stolen during Thanksgiving week, was protected by a password but was not encrypted, according to the letter. Deloitte has no evidence any of the data has been used for fraudulent purposes, and police are investigating.
A company spokeswoman, in an email to SCMagazineUS.com, declined to reveal specifics about the incident.
