million New Yorkers who made claims to a special workers' comp fund.
The lost data includes SSNs and date of birth but apparently no medical
information. UPDATE (7/26/06):
Computer was recovered. UPDATE
(04/26/07): The
New York Attorney General's office found that CS Stars violated
the state's security breach law. CS Stars must pay the Attorney General's
office $60,000 for investigation costs. It was determined that the
computer had been stolen by an employee of a cleaning contractor,
the missing computer was located and recovered, and that the data
on the missing computer had not been improperly accessed.
