The laptop was taken during a domestic burglary, the company said in a
statement on Thursday.

ENRC notified the Information Commissioner of the "two incidents of
potential loss of data" and has offered the staff member affected
identity protection.

It has also upgraded its systems to improve security.

The SFO launched a criminal investigation into the miner last month
amid allegations of fraud, bribery and corruption at the company, and
the Commons Business, Innovation and Skills select committee wants to
examine whether the behaviour of the mining group has damaged the
City’s reputation.

The miner has been dogged by corporate governance issues since
floating in London, and the UK Listing Authority has asked that the
group increase its free float to 25pc from 18pc by January 2014 or
exit the FTSE 100.
