Abstract
Pacific University announced on Friday that administrators are trying to locate a stolen laptop that may contain sensitive information. The laptop, stolen from a staff member's home, did not contain any Social Security numbers. However, the university could not rule out other types of sensitive information. Administrators are encouraging staff and students to monitor their personal information and accounts even though there has been no evidence of misuse. Pacific has setup a web site - www.pacificu.edu/alerts/identity.cfm - to help answer questions about this incident.
