Boeing Data Leaked on Stolen Laptop

For Boeing, laptop thefts are beginning to become somewhat of an epidemic. For the third time in 13 months, one of the company's notebook computers has gone missing, the result of an employee leaving it unattended. In this instance, the laptop contained the names and social security numbers of about 382,000 workers and retirees. The location of the theft has not been disclosed.

Affected employees have not yet been notified, however Boeing plans to do so once it has the necessary infrastructure to handle victims' questions. The company also plans to offer credit-monitoring services for a period of three years to those affected. A company laptop was stolen with information on 3,600 employees and reitrees in April, and before that another system with information on 160,000 went missing.
