Is this is a critical security vulnerability?" Wells Fargo "addressed" this potential breach of information security and consumer data privacy with the following dismissive response: "Please keep in mind that we know that there are unencrypted laptops / desktops out there, for a variety of reasons." I am sure Wells Fargo customers will be relieved to know their confidential data (including social security numbers, Wells Fargo account numbers, addresses, income, and other information) may be stored on hundreds of unencrypted laptop computers and over 4,000 unencrypted desktop computers.
