IBM Employee Information Lost

The tapes went missing in transit from a contractor’s vehicle on Feb. 23 near the intersection of Interstate 287 and 684 — just a few miles south of IBM’s Armonk, New York, headquarters, said IBM spokesman Fred McNeese. “We’ve investigated the incident and concluded that the tape loss was inadvertent.”

The tapes contained sensitive information including dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and addresses of current and former IBM employees. The majority of information was related to ex-IBMers, McNeese said.

IBM is currently offering one year’s worth of credit monitoring service to those affected by this incident. There were a few tapes that were not encrypted.
