The data security breaches continue at a breathtaking pace. This time Washington Post has a story about the huge grocer Royal Ahold (Stop & Shop, etc.):
Grocery retailer Royal Ahold NV has lost personal information for an unknown number of former and retired employees eligible for pension benefits at its Giant Food, Stop & Shop and Tops chains, the company said yesterday.
The missing data include names, Social Security numbers, birth dates and benefit amounts. The company said the information was contained on a laptop lost by an employee for Electronic Data Systems Corp. (EDS), which managed the data for Ahold, during a commercial airline flight May 2.
