Fewer than 2,500 patients at American Family Care were told that their
personal information was at risk after a two unencrypted,
password-protected computers were stolen from an employee’s vehicle in
July, according to SC Magazine.
The laptops may have contained all kinds of personal information
belonging to these patients, including Social Security number, names,
addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, medical record numbers,
medical information, insurance information, driver’s licenses. These
computers were not used in direct patient care. Because of this
incident, American Family Care is now requiring encryption on work
computers and is reviewing its policies.
The purpose of this page is to provide awareness to individuals and organizations that are leaking information and the information of their customers. The entities listed on this site are verified to be leaking personal information sometimes without the company even being aware. SLC Security is now owned and operated by Jigsaw Security Enterprise. We are currently in process and as such this blog will eventually be taken offline and merged with Jigsaw Security resources.
