Premier first reported the laptop stolen March 7, but an analysis by a third party information security form found that the laptop had not been powered on since Dec. 31, 2015, when the organization initially realized it was missing. The findings suggest none of the data it contained was ever breached.
Though the computer has been returned, Premier is continuing to investigate the theft and has reported the development to the Bloomington Police Department, according to a statement.
