Coca-Cola said an Atlanta employee broke into the company’s computer system and copied salaries and Social Security numbers for about 450 workers.

Coke believes that the information never left the building but warned employees to check bank statements and credit card records to be on the safe side.

The company acknowledged the break-in Tuesday and said it had not notified the police. It said that an internal investigation continues and that the police would be notified if that was appropriate.

When asked if the employee responsible had been fired, spokeswoman Lori Billingsley would only said that “the appropriate disciplinary action has been taken with the employee.”
The company said the incident happened a few weeks ago.
