Past and Present American Airlines Employee Files Lost on Stolen Hard Drive

American Airlines, one of the largest airline companies around, has reported a possible data breach due to a stolen hard drive. This hard drive, which contained employee information dating back to the 1960′s, was stolen from the AMR headquarters located in Fort Worth, Texas the beginning of June, 2010.

This hard drive contained the names, addresses, Social Security numbers and birthdates of thousands of employees, and although no information has been received that the data has been used for fraudulent purposes, American Airlines is offering a year of free credit monitoring services for those who may have been affected.
