OK....yeah, you should not be stealing data drives from where you work just because you want some extra storage on your XBone. However, Andru Reed was a janitor at the Florida Department of Revenue, and the drives he stole contained "secret information about taxpayers." I am not sure that this guy should be getting charged with third degree felonies though. It seems like the jackasses at the Florida Dept. of Revenue should be feeling a little bit of pain as well, since they leave data drives with "secret information" anywhere that the janitor can steal those. "As a result of the Department of Revenue's thorough processes and procedures to monitor and maintain equipment, we were able to rapidly identify and report the property missing." Too bad they did not use all their processes and procedures to secure the data they are responsible for in the first place. Thanks cageymaru.
The four hard drives contained confidential taxpayer information. Reed indicated that he had connected the hard drives to his Xbox to download video games without knowing what was on the hard drives. At this time in the investigation, it appears that the information on the hard drives was not used or further shared, but computer forensic examinations continue.
