Abstract
The University of New Mexico is alerting employees about the potential exposure of personal information after a recent UNM laptop theft. The laptop was stolen from a UNM office in San Francisco. Information on the laptop included the names, address, e-mail addresses, university IDs and payroll information on 3,000 employees. UNM officials believe their is little chance for Identity Theft since university IDs are of no use without the corresponding passwords, which were not contained on the laptop.
