More than 20,000 staff at Marks & Spencer have been told they may be at 
risk of identity crime after a laptop computer was stolen, it has been 
reported.

The retailer has written to 26,000 present employees in its final salary 
pension scheme warning they are at risk if the data is accessed by 
criminals.

BBC Radio 4 said salary details, addresses, dates of birth, national 
insurance and phone numbers were on the machine, which was stolen from a 
printing firm.
