As we say, another day, another lost USB key. A portable data storage device containing the personal information of more than 4,000 employees of FairPoint Communications Inc. has been reported missing.
The device was discovered missing from an office April 8, and contained information on all active employees and some former workers, FairPoint said. An investigation is under way and there is no indication any data has been "improperly accessed," the company said. The information on the missing device might have included names, home addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers, birth dates and compensation and employment information, the company said. No customer or financial account information was not on the device, FairPoint said.
The company claims there is no indication the information has been used. They've brought in an outside investigator.
