Laptop Computer Security

Rugby guys are tough, but laptop thieves are tougher

The Investec Super 14 is coming up (for all you non-rugby fans, it’s essentially the Superbowl of rugby), and the Emirates Western Force has taken a considerable jab to its potential in the competition. According to RugbyWA, a laptop containing “vital analysis software” was stolen Wednesday night from a team manager’s car in a parking lot.

In the article, the staff member told reporters, “The laptop stolen is of great use to the Western Force, as it is the main laptop used for the analysis of our performance.”

The laptop apparently contains extensive rugby-specific software, as well as a lot of historical video footage that would take “many man hours” to replace.

The WF is offering a reward upon the safe return of the equipment. It’s unfortunate that, though rugby players often look pretty threatening, there is really nothing they can do but wait and see.

With MyLaptopGPS, the WF could have had its precious information back within hours of it being realized stolen. Put on your game faces, folks. It looks like this Super 14 is going to be an interesting one.
