On Friday, ABN Amro Mortgage Group Inc. told its customers that the tape was lost while being transported by DHL delivery service.

The tape was being moved from a data center run by a subsidiary of LaSalle Bank Corp. in Chicago to an Experian credit bureau facility in Allen, Texas. The tape contained the names, account information, payment histories and social security numbers for residential mortgage customers, according to the letter ABN Amro sent customers on last week.

'We have no reason at this time to believe this information has been misused,' ABN Amro Mortgage Group CEO Thomas Goldstein said in a statement before the tape was recovered.

In a statement Tuesday, Amro said DHL informed it that the package containing the missing tape was found without the original airbill. "Based on our investigation, we understand that DHL staff opened the package, found the return address on the tape, and repackaged the tape with a new airbill addressed to ABN AMRO Mortgage Group, Inc," ABN Amro said.

The company planned to discuss the matter further at a news conference later Tuesday.
