Missing State Department laptops turn up
Updated 11:10 a.m. PST Thursday May 8 with information that laptops were located
Hundreds of laptops used by the U.S. Department of State that were missing have been located, according to a report in the Congressional Quarterly.
Given the sensitive and often secret nature of data the State Department workers deal with, officials had been bracing for repercussions like congressional hearings, according to CQ. That's what happened when a Veterans Administration official had a laptop stolen in 2006, IRS laptops went missing in 2001, and a State Department laptop containing the names of foreign agents working for the U.S. government was stolen in 1999.
News of the missing laptops first surfaced in late March in an anonymous post on the Dead Men Working blog written by foreign service officers.
