Bank account details of 75,000 Bord Gáis customers stolen

A laptop computer containing bank account details of 75,000 Bord Gáis customers has been stolen in Dublin, according to RTE.

It is understood the confidential information was held on one of four laptops stolen from the offices of Bord Gáis nearly two weeks ago. Bord Gáis did not publicise the incident until now as gardaí were investigating a particular line of inquiry.

The computer was not encrypted.
