May 29, 2008 http://www.cnbc.com/id/24875931 Computer equipment containing personal information on more than 45,000 customers and employees of a State Street unit was stolen five months ago, the company said. The personal information included names, addresses and social security numbers. State Street said there was no evidence the data had been misused, but it declined to say if the stolen equipment had been recovered. It is working with federal and local law enforcement agencies on the matter. The company, a Boston-based provider of financial services to institutional investors, said 5,500 employees and 40,000 customers of Investors Financial Services, which it acquired last year, were affected. The computer equipment was stolen from a vendor hired by Investors Financial Services to provide legal support services.
