Current and former Starbucks employees’ personal data were lost in two missing laptops.
Starbucks Corp., the world’s largest coffee retailer, said Friday that laptops containing the names, addresses and Social Security numbers of 60,000 current and former employees are missing.
The company said it has been unable to find four out-of-use laptops at its Seattle headquarters, a nine-floor building in the Sodo area. Two of those computers had personal information on employees hired prior to Dec. 31, 2003, said Valerie O’Neil, Starbucks spokeswoman. She did not know what information was on the other two computers.
The company has setup a web site for anyone who needs additional information.
