The college also is looking into acquiring technology that will allow workers to remotely locate laptops and to encrypt computers or disks. In addition, it stressed to employees who use laptops to use extra caution when securing the devices, spokeswoman Ashley Carl said today. The risk of employees' personal information being used is slim. The programmer had been working on a payroll project for a group of employees using their names, bank-routing numbers, retirement information and Social Security numbers, Carl said.
