Yet another laptop has been stolen with customer’s personal data including credit card and debit card information for 
68,000 YMCA members. The laptop was stolen from a locked office at the YMCA’s administrative offices in Rhode Island. 
The data stolen was varied, ranging from Social Security numbers, debit card and credit card numbers to children’s 
medical information. No mention has been made by the YMCA regarding whether the data was encrypted or not, which leads 
one to believe that it was not encrypted .

The laptop was discovered missing on May 24th, when workers who were looking for another stolen laptop discovered it 
was missing as well. The original laptop they were looking for was new and did not have any data on it.
