80 computers go missing from Los Alamos National Laboratory

Eighty computers have gone missing from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, which deals with nuclear research, with at least 13 of them stolen. The laboratory announced that it had recovered 11 computers so that means 69 are still missing.

The laboratory maintains that no sensitive information were on those computers so there should be no risk to national security. I don't buy that at all. Thirteen of of the 69 missing computers were stolen, including 3 from a scientist's home and a blackberry was "lost in a sensitive foreign country" (probably China). Who would go through the trouble of stealing these computers if they held no important information? Washington Times

The nuclear weapons lab at Los Alamos, N.M., is missing 69 computers, including at least a dozen that were stolen last year, the AP is reporting.

Among the missing computers are three stolen from a scientist's home last month and a Blackberry lost in "a sensitive foreign country" in the last two months, according to a lab memo regarding the computers.

No classified information was on the computers, but they contain names and addresses that could pose security problems.
