The Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation disclosed Monday that a laptop 
was stolen nearly a month ago containing Social Security numbers and other 
personal data on 439 injured workers.

The BWC disclosure comes on the heels of news that a back-up data tape 
with personal information on more than 400,000 Ohioans was stolen from a 
part-time intern's car earlier this month.

The BWC laptop was stolen from the home of bureau auditor May 30 in 
Columbus.

It wasn't until Gov. Ted Strickland ordered state agencies to beef up 
their data security policies on June 15 that BWC security officials 
started to review what personal data may have been on the laptop. BWC 
Administrator Marsha Ryan wasn't told about the laptop theft until June 
15.
