Stolen Laptop Contained Insurance Customer Information

A New York Life Insurance Company agent's laptop, which contained the private information of three New Hampshire customers, was stolen from his car through a smashed window on July 28.

A report was filed with South Orange police, and the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office was subsequently notified.

The agent hadn't installed encryption software on his laptop, which contained data including the name, date of birth, Social Security number, insurance policy number and policy information for the three affected customers. They were notified of the security breach in a letter and given instruction for enrolling in a credit monitoring service to be paid for by the insurance company.
