The information includes names and addresses and, for some members, credit card numbers, checking account numbers, bank routing numbers, and, "for a very small minority," Social Security numbers, the Y said in a statement released this afternoon. The information on the laptop, which was one of two stolen from the YMCA's administrative offices on Richmond Street, also includes child care information such as the names and addresses of children in the company's child care program, as well as personal medical information for the children such as allergies and medications. The thefts were discovered Wednesday, May 24, according to YMCA spokeswoman Michelle A. Riendeau, noting that the company waited to announce the problem to determine exactly what information was on the computers.
