Gap Laptop Stolen - Social Security Info Of Job Applicants On It (GALLERY)
|
The laptop had info for all US, Canadian and Puerto Rican job applicants for Old Navy, Banana Republic, Gap and Outlet stores from July 2006 to June 2007. The only ones who kind of lucked out were the Canadians—their Social Insurance Numbers weren’t stored on the laptop.
"First of all, why is this kind of data on a laptop? And if it was on a laptop, it should certainly have been encrypted," said David Perry, data security expert and global director of education with Trend Micro.
"This is just one of the many number of incidents where the value of the stolen property is no longer the computer itself but the information that's on it," he said. "Even though Gap says it believes that the data wasn't the target of the theft, whoever has the laptop now knows what's on it."
