Information about thousands of teachers, vendors, school districts and
local governments that conduct electronic transactions with the state are
on a backup computer storage device stolen from the car of a state agency
intern, Gov. Ted Strickland said Saturday.
Strickland announced the device was missing on Friday. It also included
the names and Social Security numbers of all 64,000 state employees.
Strickland again said that he has no reason to believe the information .
which can be used to steal from people by taking their identity - has been
compromised because accessing it requires special equipment and expertise.
He also has issued an executive order to change the procedures for
handling state data.
The latest files discovered to be missing include 2,685 records of school
district and local government names and bank account information; 159,708
records of Medicaid providers and their bank account information - the
state is assuming it includes all providers; and the names and account
numbers of 1,031 state employees who are teachers in the State Teachers
Retirement System, the governor's office said.
