Two Navy Computers With Personal Data of 31,000 Stolen

An AP newswire article by Lolita C. Baldor, via SFGate.com, reports that:

Two laptop computers with personal information on about 31,000 Navy recruiters and their prospective recruits were stolen from Navy offices in New Jersey in June and July, the Navy disclosed on Wednesday.

It was the third time in little more than a month that personal data on Navy personnel has been lost or unintentionally released publicly over the Internet.

"There have been no reports of illegal usage of personal data identified by these incidents," said Navy spokesman, Lt. Bashon W. Mann, adding that the Navy is identifying the affected individuals.

He said the information on the laptops was secured by several layers of password protection.
