A laptop containing records for 62,000 current and former Stanford employees was stolen early this month. On June 5, Stanford discovered that the stolen laptop contained restricted information, and immediately began notifying the affected individuals. Anyone who received a paycheck from Stanford prior to September 28, 2007 is likely to be among those whose information was compromised. While Stanford attempted to reach all of these individuals, they do not necessarily have current contact information for every person affected.
The data on the laptop included:
- Name, gender, date of birth
- Social security number
- Salary, business title, office location, office phone number and Stanford e-mail address
- Home address and phone number
- Stanford ID card number and Stanford employee number
Stanford is working with law enforcement to recover the laptop. If you believe that you may be one of the affected individuals and have not yet been contacted by Stanford, you can call 1-888-200-8799 between 6:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time to speak with a Kroll customer service representative who can confirm if your records were compromised.
