RALEIGH - The state Department of Health and Human Services violated security policies by not properly protecting residents' personal information, including their Social Security numbers, on an agency laptop that was stolen last month.
The theft of the laptop, which contained personal information about 85,045 people, was the latest in a string of 10 DHHS laptop thefts this year that have put North Carolina residents at risk of identity theft.
Information on that laptop included Social Security numbers of 52,391 clients of the state Division of Aging and Adult Services.
