http://www.columbusdispatch.com/dispatch/content/flash/stories/2007/06/15/data_stolen.html A backup computer storage device with the names and Social Security numbers of every state worker was stolen out of a state intern's car on Sunday night, Gov. Ted Strickland announced this morning. Strickland said it would require a significant level of expertise and multiple computer programs to access the personal information of the more than 60,000 state workers. "We have no reason to believe there's any breach of security at this time, and we think it is unlikely that a breach will occur," he said at a press conference.
