100,000 pensioners’ details on Deloitte stolen laptop
A laptop containing data on around 100,000 pensioners was stolen last month. The computer, which contained pensioners’ names, National Insurance numbers and salary details, was in a handbag snatched from an employee of accounting firm Deloitte.
Deloitte said the machine was protected by security measures, and there was only a “very very low” risk of anyone being able to access the data.
Deloitte said it had notified police of the theft, and informed its clients, who in turn have contacted all of the pensioners whose data was on the laptop. No addresses or bank account details were stored on the machine, the company said.
