Where there's a breach, there's a lawsuit, Wednesday edition

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Dissent

A few weeks ago I noted that William Jennings Bryan Dorn VA Medical Center in South Carolina was notifying over 7,000 patients of a breach involving a stolen laptop. Now two of the veterans affected have filed a lawsuit over the breach. Additional details on the lawsuit, which was filed April 12, can be found here.
