Whoops!

The Washington Post reports that an ING Financial Services agent's laptop computer was stolen from his southeast D.C. home last weekend. This laptop contained the unecrypted personal data, including Social Security Numbers, on 13,000 D.C. government employees and annuitants who had retirement accounts with ING. ING is taking remedial action including notifying the affected individuals and securing its other company laptops. Talk about closing this barn door.
