Wells Fargo Employee Data Stolen

A Wells Fargo contractor had a disk stolen from their car, containing sensitive personal data on employees, including social security numbers and prescription drugs. No news on the number of people effected. numbrX Security Beat blog has this story—and a photo of the letter employees received from Wells Fargo.

Wells Fargo sent a letter to its employees early this week warning “that a computer and data disk containing some of your personal information has been stolen” from an employee of an independent public accounting firm. The firm was hired to review Wells Fargo’s health and welfare plans.
