PA ATTORNEY GENERAL ASKED TO INVESTIGATE MASSIVE DATA LOSS

Republican State Representative Seth Grove wants the Pennsylvania attorney general to investigate the massive data loss affecting the state police and state employees’ pension system.  Grove said he asked State Attorney General Michelle Henry to review the recent IT failure that led to the loss early last month of thousands of records from the Pennsylvania State Police and State Employee Retirement System.  Grove said the deleted files contained criminal evidence which may never be recovered and the loss of these files could negatively affect the investigation and prosecution of many criminal cases.
