Scott Ferguson (no relation) writes on eWeek:
In the latest episode of stolen computers and compromised personal records, Hospital Corporation of America reported on Aug. 18 that 10 computers had been stolen from one of the health care provider's regional offices.More here.
The computers "held thousands of files listing unpaid bills from Medicare and Medicaid patients" who had treatment at hospitals managed by the company in eight states, HCA said in a statement on its Web site.
HCA is conducting an internal review of the break-in, and local law enforcement and the FBI have started a criminal investigation.
