The Louisiana Office of Student Financial Assistance said the public should
be aware that information generally used in identity theft was compromised.
But added security measures placed on the data make it unlikely that anyone
will be able to decipher the missing information.
The data, which included information listed on loan applications and the
FASFA, was stored by Iron Mountain Inc. and the state has been unable to
locate it since it was last seen Sept. 19.

Iron Mountain Incorporated has notified the Louisiana Office of Student
Financial Assistance (LOSFA) that it lost back-up media belonging to LOSFA
on September 19, 2007. Iron Mountain Incorporated, a private, international
data storage company that the State of Louisiana contracts with to store its
data, began efforts to locate the media the same day after discovering the
loss. LOSFA immediately reported the incident to appropriate state
authorities and has begun its public notifications. To date, the media has
not been found, and the investigations by state and local law enforcement
are ongoing.
