ID theft?

Published 9:00 pm Thursday, November 17, 2005

Boeing announced this afternoon http://www.boeing.com/news/breakingnews/2005/051118a.html that someone has stolen a laptop containing some personal data — including banking information — about 161,000 current and former Boeing employees.

Here’s an Associated Press report on it: http://www.dfw.com/mld/dfw/business/13205974.htm

I’d love to hear from anyone who gets caught up in this — but I’m off next week. So if you want to talk with us about what it takes to safeguard your personal financial data, please e-mail my boss, Herald business editor Mike Benbow, at benbow@heraldnet.com. Make your subject line “Boeing ID theft.”
