GE Laptop With 50,000 Employee Names, Data Stolen (Update1)

   By Rachel Layne - September 26, 2006 16:15 EDT 

   Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- General Electric Co. said an employee's laptop
   computer containing the names and Social Security numbers of 50,000 current
   and former GE workers was stolen from a locked hotel room earlier this
   month.

   ``We believe this was a random criminal act,'' GE said in a Sept. 22 letter
   sent to the affected employees that was obtained by Bloomberg News. There's
   no  indication the data on the laptop and its external hard drive were
   accessed, company spokesman Russell Wilkerson said today.

   GE, which is working with law enforcement officials, isn't disclosing the
   location  or  day  of  the  theft  because the incident is still under
   investigation, Wilkerson said. General Electric immediately began notifying
   the employees whose names were on the laptop and offered them one free year
   of the company's identity- theft and credit-protection monitoring service,
   Wilkerson said.

   General Electric, based in Fairfield, Connecticut, has about 318,000 current
   employees and at least 440,000 former workers, based on the tally of pension
   plan participants in its annual report. Its businesses include GE Consumer
   Finance, the world's largest private label credit card issuer.

   Shares of General Electric, the world's second-largest company by market
   value,  rose  55  cents to $35.44 at 4 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange
   composite trading. They are up 1.1 percent this year.
