According to a company statement, the theft put the data of 29,000 employees who worked for Facebook last year at risk.

According to the company, the stolen disks did not contain any data for users of the social networking site.

Facebook invited employees to inform their banks of the theft, while working with the relevant authorities to recover information and uncover the perpetrator.
