226,000 Ameriprise Financial customers and employees have been at risk of computer identity theft

Laptop containing Social Security numbers, account numbers and names for 226,000 customers and employees of Minneapolis-based Ameriprise was stolen sometime in late December somewhere outside Minnesota.

The good news are that only 68,000 current and former financial advisers had their names and Social Security numbers stored on that laptop. Roughly 158,000 clients were lucky enough to have only their names and internal account numbers stored on it.

So far no signs of any computer identity theft.
