Stolen Desktop Computer Exposes Data of Nearly 4 Million Patients
Dark Reading reports a desktop computer stolen from healthcare organization Sutter Medical Foundation has potentially exposed the personal information of nearly 4 million patients. The password-protected but unencrypted machine contained a patient database. Ironically, the Sacramento, Calif.-based healthcare organization had been implementing encryption across the organization at the time of the theft. Unfortunately, the machine that was stolen was not yet encrypted.
