Blue-Cross Discovers it is One Laptop Short 3 Months Later
The Western New York branch of the Blue-Cross Blue-Shield has recently discovered one of its laptops containing private information of about 40,000 of its members has gone missing sometime in November 2007.
According to WIVB TV, Blue-Cross started notifying its members they run the risk of having their identity stolen. Furthermore, they are offering credit checks for all affected members and taking steps to make sure it doesn’t happen again.
I guess they are now considering some serious endpoint security and DLP solution implementation. Especially if it takes them 4 months to even notice their sensitive data is missing.
