I had an employee provide a resignation before I was on site. The employee then unplugged a desktop computer and left the premises with it. The computer contained pricing data, customer data, email communications, login credentials to several important websites, login info to vendor websites.
I filed a police report and the police were able to recover the computer, however the data on the machine was wiped or the drive was replaced.
What should I do?
We had an employee tamper with data/information. We alerted the police who charged them with computer tampering which is a felony. They had to do 12 days in jail and 2 years unsupervised probation and are now a convicted felon
