Milford schools: Info compromised due to security breach

Posted on July 2, 2014 by Dissent

More on a previously reported breach.  Milford Daily News reports:

Students who receive Medicaid reimbursements may have had their personal information compromised because of a security breach at a billing vendor, the school district said.

In a letter dated June 25 to parents, Multi-State Billing Services, based in Somersworth, New Hampshire, reported that a laptop had been stolen from an employee’s locked vehicle in May. The laptop — password protected but not encrypted — contained records of personal information, including Medicaid identification numbers and Social Security numbers.

The records hold information on nearly 3,000 students from 19 school districts in Central and Eastern Massachusetts and 446 students in Vermont.
