Laptop stolen from Butte Community Bank - Chicago
Thursday, November 8, 2007
A laptop computer containing sensitive personal information about Butte Community Bank customers was stolen from an employee who travels to each of the bank’s fifteen (15) branch offices. The data appears to have been unencrypted and did not have any theft recovery software installed. The notice sent to customers state the data is “password protected” however this is trivial if the data is not encrypted. The theft occurred in the middle of October and the data includes the regular “steal my identity” information such as name, address, Social Security number, account numbers and other data. The Bank will not indicate how many customers were affected, or how many noticed were sent out.
