Thieves who broke into a car belonging to an intern for the state of Ohio on Sunday now have access to data on all the state’s 64,000 employees — at least theoretically. The data, which was on a backup device, included the names and Social Security numbers for all employees of the state, Gov. Ted Strickland announced Friday.

Ohio Highway Patrol has asked that specific details about the computer device and its encryption be withheld, Dailey said.
