The flash drive – a portable computer memory device – contained data such as social security numbers and was on the employee’s desk when it was taken. There has been no indication since then that any of the information has been misused, according to university spokesman Greg Hand. “We don’t believe the person who stole this (the flash drive) knew what was on it,” he said. Letters have been sent to the students and the three major credit-reporting agencies involved have been alerted, Hand said.
