A computer tape from a Connecticut bank containing personal data on 90,000 customers was lost in transit recently, the 
bank reported Wednesday.

People's Bank, based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, is sending letters to the affected customers, it said in a press 
release. The tape contains information such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers and checking account numbers. 
It was bound for the TransUnion LLC credit reporting bureau, based in Woodlyn, Pennsylvania, via United Parcel Service 
of America Inc. (UPS), the release said.

UPS is investigating the incident along with all involved parties, said UPS spokeswoman Heather Robinson. She would not 
disclose when the package was lost.
