13,000 Pfizer Employee Records Compromised in Data Breach
According to news sources preliminary reports indicate that pharmaceutical giant Pfizer suffered a data breach involving 13,000 employee records when a laptop storing the information was stolen. While it appears that social security numbers were not involved, names, home addresses, telephone numbers, employee ID numbers, job titles and salary information may have been compromised in this breach.
Pfizer has reported a number of breaches over the past year, including a breach earlier this year also affecting employees. According to news sources Pfizer has sent more than 65,000 data breach notifications over the past twelve months.
