    Computer Tech Accidentally Erases Info on Alaska's $38 Billion Oil Fund

    A computer technician at the Alaska Department of Revenue deleted applicant information for an oil-funded sales account — one of state residents' biggest perks.

    While reformatting the disk drive during a routine maintenance check, the technician mistakenly reformatted the backup drive as well and, suddenly, all the data disappeared.

    A third line of defense — backup tapes that are updated nightly — were unreadable.
