State officials say they have found a missing package containing private data on more than 50,000 individual and corporate taxpayers. They say the package was intact.
It was sent by a revenue department employee in Brainerd by certified mail on May 16 to the department's headquarters in St. Paul. The package contained three checks totaling $2,400 and a computer backup tape. On that tape are Social Security numbers and other information for 2,400 individuals, and identifying information for 48,000 businesses.
Revenue Department officials plan to release more information on the package and the departments response to the incident later this afternoon.
