Illegal Penetration of Physician Database
Quadszilla just sent me a link to a recent alledged unathorized hack into a medical college database by what is believed to be a salesman of all things. He is a salesman for medical databases. No doubt he was going to take the information he recieved and attempt to market to those people who were either near graduation or post graduates.More here.
Thankfully the database in question in this particular hack was not a patient resource (and therefor not under HIPAA regulation), but the obvious damage that could be caused by something like this makes me shudder a little bit.
