Jerry Miller, 49, a team leader for Ohio's new payroll and accounting system, didn't follow an order given nearly three months before the theft to move the sensitive data from a common computer drive to a secure directory. Miller understood the order but did not relay it to the employees he supervised, and they continued to store sensitive information on the computer drive, according to an investigation by the Department of Administrative Services. The backup device was stolen in June from the car of Justin Ilovar, 22, an intern at the state's Office of Management and Budget. Ilovar had been responsible for taking the device home overnight for safekeeping.
