Navy Recruiting Laptops Stolen
Two laptops used for recruiting were stolen from New Jersey Navy Recruiting Station offices in Trenton and Jersey City recently. The Navy is reviewing the data contained in the computers, including personal information on approximately 31,000 individuals (such as recruiters, prospects from school lists and applicants). Approximately 4,000 individuals had social security numbers on the computer. The Navy is in the process of notifying those affected. Individuals who believe they may be impacted can call the Navy Personnel Command call center in Millington, Tenn. at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC (1-866-827-5672) to confirm whether their personal information was on one of the computers.
