Bristol-Myers spokeswoman Laura Hortas said the New York-based pharmaceutical company began notifying current, former and retired employees by mail on June 12 about the missing backup tape. Bristol-Myers would not disclose how many people are affected by the breach. However, according to a security breach notification letter (download PDF [1]) sent by the company to the New Hampshire Attorney General's office, the personal data of 458 residents of that state was stored on the stolen tape.
