The stolen data included Social Security numbers. Computers containing account information on customers with personal lines of credit were stolen earlier this month from an analyst hired by the San Francisco-based bank. The bank said there was no indication the information has been misused so far. At the request of investigators, Wells Fargo will not say how many customers are affected. Wells has business relationships with 23 million households across the country.
