Stanford University determined yesterday that a university laptop, which 
was recently stolen, contained confidential personnel data. The university 
is not disclosing details about the theft as an investigation is under 
way.

The university is sending e-mails and letters to current and former 
employees whose personal information may be at risk, as well as posting 
information on the Stanford homepage at: http://www.stanford.edu, and 
notifying the media. Officials estimate that the problem could extend to 
as many as 72,000 people currently or previously employed by Stanford.
