Stolen Boeing laptop is recovered

A stolen Boeing laptop containing personal information on 382,000 workers and retirees has been recovered.

In an e-mail to employees, Senior Vice President Rick Stephens said Boeing and a third-party computer-security consultant had confirmed that the files with personally identifiable information were not accessed after the theft.

Stephens said Boeing will still honor its commitment to pay for three years of credit monitoring for any employees whose information was on the computer.

The employee responsible for the laptop was fired soon after it was lost in December.

Separately Thursday, Boeing reported its first 787 orders this year, booking orders for four of the new jets. The buyer was not identified. The order is worth about $600 million at list prices. The actual purchase price is estimated at about $400 million, based on market data from aircraft valuation firm Avitas.
