Ameriprise Says Stolen Laptop Had Data on 230,000 People - New York Times: "Ameriprise Financial, the investment advisory unit spun off from American Express last year, said yesterday that lists containing the personal information of about 230,000 customers and advisers had been compromised.
A security breach occurred in late December, Ameriprise said, after a company laptop was stolen from an employee's parked car. The laptop contained a list of reassigned customer accounts that was being stored unencrypted, a violation of Ameriprise's rules."
