Information about City of Houston employees’ health insurance was compromised after an employee’s laptop computer was stolen.
The password-protected computer may have contained records, including names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and other medical information.
Professionals are trained not to remove laptops from City offices unless sensitive data is encrypted but apparently one employee “failed to follow his training.”
