Willamette Educational Service District Computer Theft Sparks Student ID Theft Scare

[Dissent <Dissent () pogowasright org>]

[...]

All but one of the desktop PCs inside it were stolen. Phone equipment 
and other electrical items were also taken initially, but dropped by 
the thieves as they left. However, the thieves kept those computers; 
and they could have personal information about 4,500 high school 
students across Oregon.

An initial look at backup tapes from those seven stolen computers 
late Monday night did not show any personal identification 
information about those students; however, more tape must be reviewed 
before investigators know for sure.
