The Camarillo-based chipmaker said a laptop computer and other personal belongings were stolen from one of its vendors. The computer was not stolen from a Semtech facility, but “may have contained computerized data relating to Semtech employees.” Semtech notified all of its U.S. employees in late September, although the company declined to say how many of its 690 employees are based in the United States. The firm also declined to name the vendor from whom the computer was stolen. The vendor that lost the laptop will pay for identity-theft protection services for all of Semtech’s employees for one year. Semtech declined to provide further details of the incident, such as what personal employee data may have been put at risk, when the theft happened or how long it took the company to inform its workers of the potential breach.
