IA: Medicap Pharmacy warns of possible data breach (UPDATED)

Posted on February 4, 2016 by Dissent

Matthew Patane reports:

Medicap Pharmacy is warning customers about a possible data breach.

The company said in a notice that an external hard drive was “inadvertently” disposed of on Nov. 5, 2015.

The hard drive contained personal information. Medicap believed all of the information was encrypted, but said it learned on Dec. 3 that some information did not have encryption.

Read more on Des Moines Register. There doesn’t seem to be any statement on the pharmacy’s website at this time.

Update: The breach was reported to HHS  by GRX Holdings as impacting 2,300 patients.
