business unit of my client Sun Gard Data Systems Inc.  ("SunGard").   On 
May 11, 2008 an employee of Phase3 which processes trade data for 
retail/institutional brokerage firms, left a bag containing a laptop in

contained data belonging to Newedge USA, LLC ("Newedge"), a Phase3 client.

SunGard notified and worked closely with law enforcement to locate the 
laptop, but the laptop, which was password-protected, has not been 
recovered. Neither Phase3 nor Newedge have any indication that any

names, Social Security Numbers, as well as, in some instances, other 
information such as date of birth, home address and telephone number
