How many SAIC stock accounts were involved?
BNY Mellon initially reported that records for 1,376 SAIC accounts were on the missing tapes. BNY Mellon began mailing letters to affected account holders Friday, March 21, 2008. However, on August 28, 2008, BNY Mellon Shareowner Services provided further updates to SAIC. In these updates, BNY Mellon informed SAIC that the data loss was greater than first confirmed and that personal data for nearly all current and some former SAIC stock account holders who held stock after February 1, 2006, or who held stock options or restricted stock after January 1, 1993, may be at risk of compromise. BNY Mellon estimates that some 41,000 SAIC account holders are now known to be affected. BNY Mellon said, however, it had no reason to believe the data had been accessed or improperly used.
