(Update) ND: Stolen laptop contained donors’ financial data

Posted on June 17, 2009 by Dissent

The Post and Courier provides some more information about a University of North Dakota breach that was originally reported in October 2008. John McDermott and the AP report:

A computer that was swiped from a car in Charleston last year contained personal financial information on 84,000 University of North Dakota donors, it was disclosed this week.

The missing laptop belonged to Daniel Island-based software giant Blackbaud Inc., which stressed Tuesday that all of the information was password-protected and encrypted. It also said it was not aware of any data breaches.

Blackbaud said the employee responsible for the computer violated company policy by keeping the data too long. The information belonged to the University of North Dakota’s foundation and alumni association.

Note: This incident not only affected UND, but also affected St. Margaret’s Episcopal School in San Juan Capistrano, as reported in December 2008. Thanks to the Identity Theft Resource Center for reminding me that there had been a previous incident report involving Blackbaud.
