I had a similar problem with a information reported by apport
"HalComputerInfo.txt".

It contained my Laptops serial/service tag. Such information should not
be publish as it allows you to get support from your manufacturer and
identify you by that unqiue entity (or if you are more evil, report it
as stolen, register it as your device, and so on).

That field within that file should not be reported at all (device
serial).
