Minnesota Taxpayers’ Data Missing
About 50,000 Minnesota taxpayers should be on alert for identity theft for the next few months. A server backup tape has been missing for more than a month. Oregon taxpayers had a similar incident a few days ago.
A server backup tape was lost containing Social Security numbers and other information for 2,400 individual taxpayers and identifying information on 48,000 businesses. The tape was sent in a package along with three checks totaling $2,400 and some interoffice correspondence.
