We could probably set up a category called "Data Theft" given the number of cases that have been reported over the past couple of months.

First there was the MCI case than the DOJ one and the Citigroup case, Now we have one more to add to the list, this time its Motorola.

Two computers containing employee personal information were stolen from the mobile phone maker's human resources services provider, Affiliated Computer Serviceslinks (ACS) Inc., The data on the stolen computers included names and Social Security numbers but no financial information, according to Motorola. The number of employees affected was not disclosed.

ACS said thieves broke into its office in the Chicago area over the Memorial Day weekend and stole the computers. Police are investigating, it said.

Motorola had transferred a part of its human resources systems to ACS in December 2002 under a 10-year contract valued at $650 million.

Motorola said it had e-mailed all of its U.S. employees alerting them to the incident. No personal financial data was in the computers, said Motorola spokeswoman Jennifer Weyrauch.
