In Washington state, a burglar stole a laptop containing the personal information of 1,400 current and former employees of the King County Transportation Department.

The information contained the names, addresses, and social security numbers of current and former employees.


The laptop belongs to a human resources employee who regularly brings the laptop from one job site to another. The laptop was password protected, but the data was not encrypted. The victims were part of the department’s Roads, Airport and Fleet divisions.
