MySpace staff arrested for theft of personal confidential information

The company’s e-mail to staff on Monday mentioned that the former employee from welfare department of the company stole confidential information “at least” including the names of employees, Social Security numbers and wages, but there are no evidences that the theft of the information also includes staff’s bank accounts, insurance beneficiaries and personal medical records. E-mail said that this person had started stealing these information since June 2008 or earlier with a purpose of “harassing” some of the employees. At present, this person has been arrested and will face the prosecution from the high-tech crimes department of Los Angeles district attorney’s office. The email asked the employees to be aware of “a possible identity theft and fraud to remain vigilant.”

MySpace sent an email to employees on Wednesday claiming that the office would be closed from 9:00 am to 18:00 pm on Thursday because of the blackout and the employees were requested to work from home.
