About 150,000 people in the US have been affected by the theft of laptops
with personal information about current and former employees of brewing
giant Anheuser-Busch.

A letter sent by the St Louis, Missouri-based brewer to the Florida
Attorney General's Office said the laptops, stolen in June, contained
personal information on nearly 87,500 residents, including current and
former employees, and more than 3,000 people involved in employee
assistance programmes, either as recipients or providers.

The state of California was notified that nearly 55,000 of its residents

In all, residents in at least six states: Florida, New Hampshire,
Virginia, Missouri, Texas and California are involved.
