Interior loses CD with personal data for 7,500 federal employees

Posted on June 16, 2010 by Dissent

Alice Lipowicz reports:

A compact disc that contains personally identifiable information for about 7,500 federal employees has been reported lost by the Interior Department’s shared services center.

The incident occurred on or about May 26, when a procurement specialist at Interior’s National Business Center in Denver reported that the CD could not be located. The disc was sent to the business center by a third-party service provider, according to a June 10 news release.

The CD has not been found, Terri Raines, a spokeswoman for the National Business Center, said today.

The data on the CD was encrypted and password-protected, and was used to support billings from the vendor, Raines said. The disc was presumed to be lost in the center’s secured, restricted-access area, she added.
