(previous story here: http://attrition.org/dataloss/2007/05/tcleose01.html) From: MKEVHILL_at_aol.com http://www.kltv.com/Global/story.asp?S=6701764&nav=1TjD SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) - When a laptop containing the personal information of law enforcement officers in Texas was stolen, not all officers were properly notified. Productivity Center told the state's law enforcement agencies of the theft last month at a Houston office. It left the information up to each agency to tell officers. But many officers say they received word through the grapevine and not from official channels. The laptop contained files with the Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers and other sensitive information for the roughly 230,000 licensed Texas peace officers. So far, it seems the thieves didn't know what was in the laptop.
