    Coca-Cola said an Atlanta employee broke into the company's computer 
    system and copied salaries and Social Security numbers for about 450 
    workers.
    
    Coke believes that the information never left the building but warned 
    employees to check bank statements and credit card records to be on 
    the safe side.
    
    The company acknowledged the break-in Tuesday and said it had not 
    notified the police. It said that an internal investigation continues 
    and that the police would be notified if that was appropriate.
    
    When asked if the employee responsible had been fired, spokeswoman 
    Lori Billingsley would only said that "the appropriate disciplinary 
    action has been taken with the employee."
    
    The company said the incident happened a few weeks ago.
