A letter sent by the St Louis, Missouri-based brewer to the Florida Attorney General's Office said the laptops, stolen in June, contained personal information on nearly 87,500 residents, including current and former employees, and more than 3,000 people involved in employee assistance programmes, either as recipients or providers. The state of California was notified that nearly 55,000 of its residents were affected, said Abraham Arredondo, a spokesman for the attorney general's office there. In all, residents in at least six states: Florida, New Hampshire, Virginia, Missouri, Texas and California are involved.
