Burglars broke into Mitt Romney’s Boston presidential campaign headquarters over the weekend, making off with multiple laptops and a television.
Alex Burgos, a spokesman for the campaign, told eWEEK that the burglary happened sometime during the evening of Sept. 9. The forced entry into the building, a harbor side location on Commercial Street in Boston’s North End neighborhood, appeared to be a “routine” burglary, he said, given that neither hard nor electronic copies of files were touched. At any rate, the computer systems are password-enabled and the hard drives are encrypted, Burgos said.
