From C|Net:
About 40,000 Chicago Public Schools employees are at risk of identity fraud after two laptops containing their personal information were stolen on Friday.
The computers were taken from the CPS headquarters, the organization said in a statement. The laptops belong to accounting firm McGladrey and Pullen and its subcontractor, who were reviewing contributions to the Chicago Teacher Pension Fund, according to the statement.
The computers contain the names and Social Security numbers of employees who contributed to the pension fund between 2003 and 2006, the CPS said. The data does not include addresses, dates of birth or any other personal information, it said.
A CPS official on Monday said the laptops had not yet been recovered.
Bad news.
