“The Department of Economic Security sent parents a letter telling them that someone had stolen a back-up computer hard drive from a storage facility in Phoenix.

It has a lot of personal family information, the kind that can be used to steal identities.
 

But don’t worry the Arizona Dept of Economic Security doesn’t think there is a major threat….

“The letter says, quote, "The hard drive contained information that may include your name and address, insurance information, and your child’s disability information, date of birth, and social security number,"”

The letter says the thieves probably don’t know what they have.
