[Dataloss] CA: School workers' personal data lifted

[Henry Brown]

Perhaps much bigger breech than the article from the Modesto Bee might 
indicate...

A quote from the Fresno Bee article "... Employee information for Clovis 
Unified and 15 other organizations ..."

Clovis Unified School District employees were notified that a computer 
stolen this week from a Fullerton company contained personal information 
-- including Social Security numbers -- for about 4,000 district employees.

While police do not believe the intent of the burglary was to steal 
identity information, the district has recommended that employees 
establish fraud alerts on their credit files, district spokeswoman Kelly 
Avants said.

Employee information for Clovis Unified and 15 other organizations was 
jeopardized when Systematic Automation of Fullerton was burglarized 
about 4:30 a.m. Monday. District employees were alerted in an e-mail 
about 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, which Avants said was the fastest the district 
could assemble accurate information on what to tell workers.

The stolen computer contained Clovis Unified employee names, addresses 
and salaries, as well as Social Security numbers. It did not contain 
birth dates or other personal information. Systematic Automation handles 
the online benefits enrollment for Clovis Unified employees and 
publishes information on what benefits each employee receives, Avants said.
