Thousands of Laptops Stolen from US Special Ops Command

[TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Thousands of laptops were stolen from the Florida office of a private contractor for the U.S. military's Special Operations Command.

U.S. Special Operations Command coordinates the activities of elite units from the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines. A spokeswoman said Tuesday that none of the stolen laptops contained military information or software.

The Virginia-based company iGov was awarded a $450 million contract earlier this year to supply mobile technology services linking special operations troops worldwide. A company executive says iGov is cooperating with authorities and the March 6 break-in at its Tampa facility remains under investigation.
Surveillance cameras caught up to seven people loading the computers into two trucks for nine hours.] emphasis added
