About 1,200 Williams-Sonoma Inc. employees are receiving notice that their personal information is at risk to identity theft. A Deloitte & Touche employee was performing an audit of the company when the laptop containing the personnel data was lost.
The personal and financial information on the employees included payroll data such as names and Social Security numbers, Patricia Sellman, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco-based Williams-Sonoma, said.
After the laptop went missing, Williams-Sonoma sent a letter to staff who were affected, including some former employees, she said. These people have been offered free credit monitoring, Sellman added.
