Police allege that a fired Chicago Public Schools employee took a personal database of about 70,000 people contained in a CPS private database with her.
According to CBSChicago, the 28-year old employee – Kristi Sims – was a temporary worker in the CPS information center who may have stolen the data in retaliation for being fired. After she was fired, she allegedly copied then deleted a database with information on CPS employees, volunteers and others – information that police describe as “sensitive.”
