Identity

Hmmm.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation today began notifying nearly 11,400 customers whose personal information was contained on two computers that were stolen during a Nov. 28 burglary at PennDOT's Wilkes-Barre Driver License center.

PennDOT also took immediate action to increase security of customer data at its facilities across Pennsylvania to reduce the risk of such a breach occurring again.

Thieves also took equipment and supplies that could be used to make fraudulent drivers license and photo identification cards. Pennsylvania State Police are investigating the crime.
