Deloitte Partner, Principal Confidential Information on Stolen Laptop

Dan Kaplan writes on SC Magazine US:

A laptop containing the personal information of an undisclosed number of Deloitte & Touche partners, principals and other employees was stolen while in possession of a contractor responsible for scanning the accounting firm's pension fund documents, SCMagazineUS.com learned today.

The computer contained confidential data, including names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, and other personnel information, such as hire and termination dates, according to a Dec. 6 letter Deloitte sent to victims. Some of the information belonged to people working at Deloitte subsidiaries.

The laptop, stolen during Thanksgiving week, was protected by a password but was not encrypted, according to the letter. Deloitte has no evidence any of the data has been used for fraudulent purposes, and police are investigating.

A company spokeswoman, in an email to SCMagazineUS.com, declined to reveal specifics about the incident.

my friend has Deloitte transfer pricing documents on her pc that were left by her former boyfriend a partner at deloitte. what is the difference? one was stolen. the power point documents for drug companies and other clients are on her pc. she doesn't know what to do with them. return them to the client or the company? deloitte partners are sloppy.
