Personal information about an unspecified number of current and
former Prudential Financial employees was on a handful of laptop
computers stolen from a consulting firm's New York offices,
Prudential told employees last week.

Towers Perrin, which provides actuarial services for Prudential's
pension program, said the information included employees' names and
Social Security numbers. Prudential, based in Newark, said a
percentage of its 23,000 domestic workers, some former employees and
a small number of retirees are affected.

[...] Prudential wasn't notified until Jan. 3 at the request of
authorities, who arrested the Towers Perrin employee Dec. 28.

DeFillippo said Prudential didn't get a complete list of affected
employees until Jan. 9 and a formal letter to those workers was sent
last week.
