Chang | The News Herald Published: January 13, 2009 MORGANTON - Approximately 300 people's Social Security numbers are on an external computer hard drive missing from Blue Ridge Community Action, 800 N. Green St. BRCA Executive Director Mattie Patterson said the hard drive contains information on clients from four counties who have used the organization's services in the past four or five years. The external hard drive was used to back up information on clients. Patterson said it is unclear whether the hard drive is simply lost or if it was stolen. According to the report filed with the Morganton Department of Public Safety, an employee discovered the hard drive was missing on Dec. 31. The employee tried to locate the hard drive at several locations she had visited in the past few days. Patterson said the organization is in the process of drafting a letter to the affected clients who should receive the notice within the next five days. BRCA provides services to children and adults. Its programs include child development, nutritional assistance, housing, community service and adult day care and health services. Loading Comments...
