Data breaches reported from 12 medical facilities last month
A dozen medical data breaches were added to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse list last month – and that doesn’t even include Affinity Health Plan’s leaving personal information of more than 400,000 people on their digital copier when the lease was up.
- Our Lady of Peace (Louisville, KY)
Someone lost or stole a flash drive containing personal information of nearly 25,000 of the psychiatric hospital’s patients. Some of the records are from as far back as 2002.
- St. Jude Heritage Medical Group (Orange, CA)
Five computers storing the information of 20,000 patients were stolen during a break-in. In this case, the info included names, birth dates and Social Security numbers; some patients’ health information was also on the computers.
- The Medical Center (Bowling Green, KY)
Someone stole a hard drive that contained the info of women who had bone density testing at the mammography suite between 1997 and 2009.
- Hutcheson Medical Center and a plastic surgery center (Chattanooga, TN)
Thousands of patient files dating back to 1998 were sent to the Dupont Recyling Center. Information within the files included personally identifying info. Patients who underwent plastic surgery will be mortified to know their photos were also up for grabs. (This data breach actually occurred May 2009, but just made the list April 2010.)
- DRC Physical Therapy Plus (Monticello, NY)
Thousands of patients’ records were unceremoniously dumped when the business folded. Police impounded a dump truck loaded with boxes of files and removed another 12 boxes of patient records from the bucket of a front-end loader.

LifeLock promo code “DEFENSE” gives consumers affordable ID theft protection
The LifeLock promo code helps budget conscious American consumers save money while simultaneously helping them protect themselves from becoming ID theft victims.
Statistics illustrate the importance of ID theft protection measures, and the benefit of using the LifeLock Promo code “DEFENSE” when proactively protecting ourselves from ID theft. Consumer debt decreased 13% between February 2009 and February 2010, according to a Federal Reserve report of April 10. And last year, incidences of identity theft increased 11%, according to a report from Javelin Strategy and Research. (more…)

How important is it that you construct a strong password? Just ask Fox and Friends Weekend co-host Dave Briggs, or former Alaskan governor and vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. Both of them have had their email accounts hacked by intruders who were able to guess their victims’ passwords.
For Briggs, it was his Hotmail account. Writing as Briggs, the attacker sent all of Briggs’ contacts an email begging that they send money via Western Union so that he might be released from Malaysia where he, ostensibly, was trapped. (more…)

Every year millions of tons of discarded government, business and personally owned computers end up in one of the sprawling, smoldering e-waste dumps in developing countries.

I’ve seen stories of client information left completely unsecured, unprotected and easily accessible after the closing of a doctor’s office, a car dealership, a real estate agency and a fitness center.
In some cases the customer files were dumped into open trash bins, in others the files were simply left in abandoned offices or in boxes at the curb.
Now, with last week’s failure of Clear, the program that assured travelers’ hasty passage through airport security, the extensive information of 260,000 former customers is at risk. (more…)

Watch for the new yellow bracelets that say “LAID OFF NEED YOUR NAME, SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER, DATE OF BIRTH.”
Stephanie R. Aucoin joined the ranks of millions of other unemployed Americans last September when she was fired from her job at an accounting firm last September. But, with the help of friends, by April, she was selling thousands of yellow bracelets imprinted with the words “LAID OFF NEED A JOB.”
After her arrest by Sarasota police, maybe she needs new bracelets that say “ARRESTED NEED BAIL MONEY.” (more…)
