Jackson Health System Employees Exposed
Last week, 8,500 Jackson Health employees were notified that their personal information was stored on two laptops stolen seven months ago.
The computers, belonging to financial services provider ING, contained information gathered during a voluntary life insurance enrollment drive in December and included names, birth dates and social security numbers.
“We are relatively certain the computers were stolen for their hardware value and the personal information was not accessed,” said Chuck Eudy, a North American spokesman for ING, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
ING is providing free credit monitoring service for a year for those who sign up.
