A computer server holding the names and Social Security numbers of about
25,000 North Carolina Department of Transportation employees, contractors
and other state employees had a security breach, officials announced
Friday.

The breach affects employees who were issued identification badges from
1997 until 2006. Officials have no evidence that the personal information
was accessed, according to the DOT.

People who used their employee identification number instead of their
Social Security number are not at risk. The department is working to
contact the affected individuals by mail, and the State Bureau of
Investigation has also been notified.

Individuals who detect a problem with any of the personal information
listed above should notify local law enforcement and contact one of the
three credit bureaus to place a 90-day fraud alert on their credit report.
