A flash drive containing private information on 2,600 former Dayton-area Delphi workers has recently been stolen from an unattended laptop of a Job and Family Services department employee. The information stored on said drive included names, addresses, social security numbers and telephone numbers of the workers.
Helen Jones-Kelley, director of the Job and Family Services department, quoted by the Dayton Daily News, said leaving the laptop unattended during lunch hour was a violation of department policy and the responsible employee could be taken disciplinary actions against, including termination.
In what those affected are concerned, the same department representative said they have sent letters to all those involved.
