Credit Monitoring Service Offered by Educational Testing Service after Laptop Stolen

Over a month later, Educational Testing Services (ETS) in Maryland finally notified the attorney general of a missing laptop containing personal information of several of it’s clients.

The laptop was stolen, and it’s hard drive contained names and social security numbers collected by the company. After the laptop was reported missing the next day, the IT department loaded the hard drive backup to find out what information was at risk.

If you were contacted by letter, that your name and social security number were on the laptop’s hard drive then you are at risk for identity theft. ETS has supplied those clients with information to sign up with Experian’s Triple Advantage Premium credit monitoring service to allow them to catch suspicious and fraudulent use of their information.
