Latest ‘lost’ laptop holds treasure-trove of unencrypted AT&T payroll data

It’s just another in a long line of stolen laptops … unless you work in management at AT&T and you’re worried about your social security number falling into the hands of identity thieves. Or, you’re worried that your coworkers might find out how much — or how little — you actually earn.

While AT&T has declined to disclose the number of management employees put at risk by the May 15 theft from an employee’s car, one manager who is among them tells me he knows of others located throughout every corner of AT&T’s vast empire in the U.S. “I have found one individual who was not impacted,” says the manager, who asked not to be named. “This is probably big, but not everyone.”
