“An Internal Revenue Service employee took home an unencrypted thumb drive containing ‘sensitive’ data about thousands of agency current and former employees in 2007, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen on Tuesday.

The data does not contain ‘general taxpayer information or records,’ the IRS said in a statement.”
