The Neiman Marcus Group said Tuesday that computer equipment containing
files with sensitive information of nearly 160,000 current and former
employees has been stolen.

The files were owned by a pension consultant and contained 2-year-old data
that was current as of Aug. 30, 2005. Information included each person’s
name, address, social security number, date of birth, period of employment
and salary information.

Employees hired after Aug. 30, 2005 are not affected.

The Dallas-based luxury retailer has “no reason to believe that the data
contained in the files on the computer equipment was the target of the
theft nor that the information has been accessed or misused,” said Ginger
Reeder, vice president of corporate communications at Neiman Marcus.
