Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

Network World Fusion reports that a “medical group” in San Jose California experienced a burglary in their offices in the middle of the night. Two laptops were stolen containing personal information for 185,000 patients. The patient information included social security numbers. Thanks to the California law known as SB1386, these news stories are becoming more and more common because it requires that organizations make a good faith effort at notifying people affected by identity theft.
