Jeremy Olsen writes in the St. Paul Pioneer Press:
The theft of an Allina nurse's laptop three weeks ago has not yet resulted in any cases of identity fraud, according to a health system spokesman.More here.
Allina sent written warnings in mid- to late October after learning a laptop was stolen Oct. 8 from a nurse's locked car. The laptop contained personal information for 33,000 people, including Social Security numbers for 17,000 people.
Those affected included people with terminal illnesses receiving home hospice services and women receiving nursing visits both before and after they gave birth.
