A laptop computer that may have contained the names, birthdates and
Social Security numbers of 9,300 employees of Parkland Memorial
Hospital was stolen last week, hospital officials acknowledged Monday.

The laptop, valued at $1,862 and stolen Feb. 3, contained no
information related to Parkland patients, the officials stressed. And
while it was not certain that employee information was on the laptop,
the hospital decided to take extra precautions anyway.

Employees were notified of the theft Monday by hospital e-mail and
advised to monitor their credit profiles or place fraud alerts on
their accounts. Workers also were invited to enroll in a free,
one-year online credit monitoring service that would detect fraudulent
activities.
