The auditor for security software firm McAfee may be thinking of buying some security software itself, after one of its employees left an unencrypted CD containing sensitive information on thousands of McAfee employees in the back of an airline seat last December.

Deloitte & Touche’s backup CD contained names, Social Security numbers, and information on stock holdings held by over 9000 of McAfee’s current and former employees, McAfee spokesperson Siobhan MacDermott confirmed today.
