Ohio Governor Ted Strickland today announced the state has determined that additional information is contained on the computer back-up device stolen last week, and will extend Debix services to taxpayers and other Ohioans with sensitive data which has been found on the device.
Among the newly confirmed data on the device:

This includes checks that were cashed after May 29, 2007. The list did not contain mailing addresses or bank account information.
