A computer cartridge containing payroll information belonging to state employees was lost in transit from the state comptroller’s data center.
The employees, who work for a variety of state agencies, will receive a “dear employee” letter dated June 14 and signed by Assistant Comptroller Daniel C. Berry. The letter also includes generic information from state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer’s office titled, “Identity Theft: What To Do If You Have Been Victimized.”
In the letter, Berry said the payroll data, which contained names, salaries, Social Security numbers and home addresses, was shipped May 30 from the state comptroller’s data center in Rensselaer to the W. Averell Harriman State Office Campus in Albany “but was not received at its intended destination.”
