Confidential information belonging to Hanks High School students might have been compromised after a laptop containing transcripts of every student at the school was stolen.
A Hanks counselor downloaded and saved transcripts of all 1,700 students onto a personal laptop as part of her job, but the laptop and other items were stolen from her home.
Hanks enrolled all the affected students in an identity theft protection program called iLOCK360 that includes credit monitoring and monitoring of Social Security numbers.
