Posted on May 27, 2011 by Dissent

Tripp Messick reports:

Someone stole a laptop from Spartanburg Regional. Mark Aycock, the executive vice president, said the laptop had a password-protected file with Social Security numbers, as well as names, addresses, dates of birth and medical billing codes.

Aycock says the laptop was taken out of an employer’s car on March 28th. Hospital officials immediately called the authorities, and an investigation began.
