NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - A laptop with data on 196,000 retirement accounts was stolen last week from Fidelity Investments, the company said Thursday.

The laptop held information on the retirement and 401k accounts of employees at computer maker Hewlett-Packard (Research), such as names, Social Security numbers and compensation. It was intended for use at a business meeting.

Fidelity said so far there were no reports of personal data being misused.

The company said the information was only available through a program whose license has expired, so it would now be scrambled and unusable.

A Fidelity spokesperson said that it was not the company's usual practice to keep such large quantities of private data on laptops.

Fidelity has alerted customers affected by the theft, and taken extra security measures on accounts those accounts.
