Vendor data on encrypted tapes falls off truck – UPDATED

Posted on August 30, 2009 by Dissent

A box with encrypted tapes containing personal data fell off a truck…

Cuyahoga County officials are searching for a box that fell off a truck and contained personal information for 300 people.

The box was being moved Monday to a storage facility and held information, including Social Security numbers, for private vendors who provide services to the county. It did not contain personal information about county employees, officials said.

A driver for Iron Mountain, a company that stores and shreds documents, picked up two containers Monday from the county’s Information Services Center at East 13th Street and Chester Avenue. The driver left one box on a rear rack, and it fell off when the trucker pulled away, according to a police report.

Updated 9-01-09: The Plain Dealer reports that the box with tape was picked up the same day it fell off the truck by an employee of a company that does business with Iron Mountain and held for safekeeping until it could be returned.
