Stolen Laptop from North Carolina Ministry Leaves 1,000 Client’s Information at Risk

In North Carolina, the East Burke Christian Ministries was broken into early May and a laptop, among other things such as petty cash, was stolen.

Unfortunately, the laptop contained information of clients of the ministry, some 1,000 social security numbers at risk for identity theft.

Although police have yet to make an arrest or recover the laptop, the organization is sending letters to all of those who may have been affected and encourages those to monitor their credit reports for suspicious activity.
