It was recently revealed that a password-protected laptop was stolen from a Blount Memorial Hospital employee’s home. Reportedly, the laptop contained information such as Patient names, dates of birth, responsible party names, patient addresses, physician names, and billing information for 22,000 patients with an additional 5,000 patients’ Social Security numbers and other non-medical information.
Disclosure of personal information such as social security information is unlawful, and we have brought lawsuits on behalf of victims of such disclosures in the TRICARE/SAIC, Zappos, Sutter Health and Saint Joseph data breaches.
