DECEMBER 20, 2005 (COMPUTERWORLD) - ABN Amro Mortgage Group said today it has located a tape containing personal data on about 2 million residential mortgage customers that had been lost Nov. 18 while being transported to a credit reporting company.
On Friday, ABN Amro Mortgage Group Inc. told its customers that the tape was lost while being transported by DHL delivery service.
The tape was being moved from a data center run by a subsidiary of LaSalle Bank Corp. in Chicago to an Experian credit bureau facility in Allen, Texas. The tape contained the names, account information, payment histories and social security numbers for residential mortgage customers, according to the letter ABN Amro sent customers on last week.
