200,000 HP Workers At Risk In Latest Data Breach

The names, social security numbers and other personally identifying information for 196,000 Hewlett-Packard employees were stored on a laptop stolen from one of the company's vendors, sources recently revealed.

The stolen computer belonged to finance giant Fidelity Investments. A spokesperson for that firm has been protesting for weeks that the information was not intended to be on a portable device. The company is offering limited credit monitoring services as a result of the data breach.
