GA: Agency Contractor Burglarized

Posted on February 3, 2009 by Dissent

From the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles:

Late last week, the offices of a state contractor in Roswell, Georgia, were burglarized and a computer was stolen. The contractor was working with the agency to convert its Case Management System to a newer technology. Although the stolen computer was the property of the contractor, it did contain state information on current and past parolees supervised by the agency since 1998.

Information regarding current and past parolees that was lost in the burglary includes names, dates of birth and social security numbers. Persons who have solely been supervised as probationers were not a part of this database. The information was secured by multiple levels of passwords, and there is no evidence that it has been accessed or compromised.

Local authorities and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are actively investigating the burglary.

As a precaution, current and former parolees should check banking and credit accounts for any indication that someone else is using their personal information, and remember to monitor the use of their personal information by regularly requesting a credit report.

Anyone who believes that they have experienced identity theft or unauthorized use of their personal information should inform their local law enforcement officials.
