The Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado at Boulder has
issued letters to a number of students whose names and other information
were stored on two computers that were found to be missing during the
school's move to temporary quarters last May.

Letters of notification are being sent to the 1,372 students and former
students today, Sept. 22. To date, no known identify-theft cases have
resulted from the possible data breach involving the business school
computers. The letters include information about how to protect against
potential fraud and identity theft.

The computers were placed in storage last May and were to be taken out of
storage the week of August 28, when it was discovered that one was
missing. A second computer subsequently was found to be missing.

An investigation has been underway since late August. It is not yet known
whether the computers were misplaced or have been stolen.
