Chevron Employees’ Data Lost with Stolen Laptop

An unidentified accounting firm had lost a laptop which contained unencrypted sensitive data belonging to US payroll employees of Chevron. The company is being tight-lipped on the details of the incident.

The San Ramon oil giant sent an e-mail to U.S. workers Monday warning that a laptop computer “was stolen from an employee of an independent public accounting firm who was auditing our employee savings, health and disability plans.”

Kent Robertson, a spokesman for the company, declined to provide details about where the laptop theft occurred or the number of Chevron employees affected by the security breach.

The company I work for uses a lost and found recovery service to protect all of the work equipment (laptops, cell phones). I liked them so much I decided to protect my own personal equipment with trackitback, and they have never let me down.
