http://news.bostonherald.com/national/view.bg?articleid=147361 Computer stolen from state health office in Montana By Associated Press Friday, July 7, 2006 - Updated: 03:05 PM EST HELENA, Mont. - A state government computer was stolen during a July Fourth break-in at the offices of a drug dependency program, and officials were trying to determine Friday when it contained sensitive information. Top officials in state government were unaware Friday morning that the Public Health and Human Services computer, assigned to a state chemical dependancy program officer, had disappeared. Helena Police Chief Troy McGee said a burglar broke in over the holiday. A state worker who went into the building that day noticed a skylight had been broken and called police. Police were not informed if the computer contained any sensitive data, such as Social Security numbers or medical information, he said. [...] [Trying to determine *when* it contained sensitive info? So they are saying that they know that at one time it did? Or did AP editors let a 'when' slip in where a 'whether' was warranted?] _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/errata/dataloss/
