Saturday's swiping of the laptop, which belonged to an outside consultant to the city Financial Information Services Agency, set off major alarm bells about identity theft. A City Hall spokesman said yesterday that potentially vulnerable pensioners will be eligible for six months of free credit protection as a result of the theft. The consultant, Gregory Harrison, 25, of Baldwin, L.I., works for an information technology firm called CGI-AMS. Police said his laptop was stolen Saturday evening from Kang Suh, a Korean restaurant at 1250 Broadway. "I am not at liberty to discuss anything about the case," Harrison said in an e-mail when contacted by the Daily News. City Hall spokesman Jason Post said officials know that the information of all 280,000 pensioners was not on the laptop, but because it's unclear whose data was there, everyone has to be notified. City Controller Bill Thompson said CGI-AMS should pay for credit protection for anyone whose data might be at risk. "This is an extremely serious crime, and I am outraged that the consultant created a situation in which such a theft could even take place," Thompson said. The controller's office pegged the number of potentially vulnerable pensioners at 283,000 retirees in the city's five pension funds: the City Employees' Retirement System, Police Department Pension Fund, Fire Department Pension Fund, Teachers' Retirement System of New York and city Board of Education Retirement System. A CGI-AMS spokeswoman did not return requests for comment yesterday, and FISA directed questions to the mayor's office. Yesterday, in the lobby of FISA's fourth floor offices at 450 W. 33rd St., a security guard stopped departing workers to check whether they were toting laptops out of the building. ckatz@nydailynews.com Related Topics * Financial Information Services Agency * Pensions * Business * Gregory Harrison * Bill Thompson * Politics * Local Politics * Government and Politics * Political Policy * Domestic Policy * Domestic Security Policy * Nassau County Ads by Yahoo! * Email to a friend * Print * RSS * * Digg This * StumbleUpon * Newsvine * Post on Facebook * Follow us on Twitter EDITORS' PICKS Baseball prospect arrested at JFK with 6 pounds of coke in sneakers Baseball prospect arrested at JFK with 6 pounds of coke in sneakers Had $138,000 worth of drugs stuffed in soles of shoes: cops.
