Data on 90,000 people stolen, with Anheuser-Busch laptops

Anheuser-Busch has reported that laptops containing data on, “more than 90,000 people nationwide“, have been stolen. The laptops had information on current and former employees, along with over 3,000 people that were involved in assistance programs.

Who carries that information around on a laptop? I wonder if the laptops were stolen from a bar?

More than 90,000 people nationwide have been affected by the theft of laptops with personal information about current and former employees of Anheuser-Busch Inc.

In all, residents in at least six states are involved.

The missing data included Social Security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, and other information, according to the Florida letter, which was given to The Associated Press by the Florida attorney general’s office.
