SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - A laptop computer believed to be stolen from the Department
of Human Services Gateway Center in Springfield contained private information
for approximately 3,000 individuals.
DHS has notified involved individuals by e-mail and is notifying others through
this media alert that they may be at risk for identity theft.
The computer contained private information for people who were fingerprinted at
two DHS locations:
* The Willamette Street office in Eugene between August 2008 and
August 2010, and,
* The Gateway Center in Springfield between August 2010 and

did not contain private information for clients.
The computer had encryption and password protection, but there may still be a
risk of identity theft.
