Computer With Boeing Employee Info Stolen

CHICAGO - A computer that contained Social Security numbers and other personal information for 161,000 current and former Boeing Co. employees was stolen, the company said Friday.

Boeing said it had no evidence that any of the employee information - which included birthdays and banking information in some cases - was accessed or misused. It added that no sensitive company information or supplier or customer data was stored on the computer, which was owned by the company but stolen from a non-Boeing site.

Chicago-based Boeing said it is in the process of notifying affected employees of the security breach and helping them enroll in fraud-alert programs at the nation's three major credit reporting agencies.

The company said it is investigating the theft along with law enforcement authorities.

"We are taking a number of steps to minimize any potential damage that could result from this violation of our security procedures," Rick Stephens, senior vice president of human resources and administration, said in a statement.

The stolen computer, reminded me that there was a report of a stolen county car today, for Arizona as I recall.

There was a call for info on the radio, I heard it only once and missed a part of it.

There was also another report of a phony cop in Denver, attempted to get a 12 year old boy.
