A
laptop containing the personal details of about 100,000 pension
scheme members has been stolen from an employee of the accountancy
firm Deloitte.
The computer held the names, National Insurance numbers and
salaries of Network Rail and British Transport Police pension
scheme members. It also contained details of BSkyB employees.
Deloitte said the laptop was password-protected and also
encrypted. There was, therefore, a "very low risk" of the details
being accessed, said Deloitte.
No addresses or bank account details were contained on the
laptop.
The
laptop was stolen last month from a "public place", but has
only recently come to light.
