New York-based Secret Service agent’s laptop was stolen, but the device is encrypted and sensitive data is not at risk, law enforcement sources told NBC News and NBC New York on Friday.
The sources said the laptop requires a keycode to access, and two unsuccessful attempts to log in will destroy the device’s memory.
