Advocate Medical Group and its parent, Advent Healthcare, may have just bought themselves a heap of problems. Storing more than 20 year-old personally identifiable data including Social Security numbers on unencrypted computers with less than strong physical security doesn’t bode well for any investigation by HHS or Illinois’s Attorney General.
(corrected name on medical group)
A minor correction — it was “Advocate” not “Advent”.
That’s not minor, it’s major! What on earth was I thinking? Thanks, Chris, it’s fixed now.
