Coca-Cola has apologised for compromising thousands of people by allowing unencrypted company laptops to be stolen from its headquarters in Atlanta.
The company confirmed in a statement sent to The INQUIRER that the theft might have compromised the personal information of around 74,000 individuals.
"The Coca-Cola Company has sent notices to about 74,000 North America-based employees, former employees and other third parties informing them that some of their sensitive personal information was contained in documents on CCR and former CCE laptop computers that were stolen from the Company. "We have no indication that the information was misused. However, we understand the concerns some people may have and therefore, to demonstrate an abundance of caution."
