First California, now New York City lets pensioner info slip

First, California's state pension fund office admitted to accidentally printing out Social Security numbers (SSN) in the address pane of brochures it mailed out to some 485,000 retirees.

Now, a laptop thought to contain SSNs and other personal data on 280,000 New York City pensioners has gone missing. The laptop belonged to a consultant working at the city's Financial Information Services Agency (FISA) and was stolen Monday evening from a restaurant in which he was dining.
