Backup Tapes With 2 Million Medical Records Stolen

Lucas123 writes "A vehicle used by an off-site archive company to transport patient data was broken into on March 17. The University of Miami just made the theft public last week, saying the thieves removed a transport case carrying the school's six computer backup tapes. On those tapes were more than 2 million medical records. In fact, the archive company waited 48 hours before notifying the university itself. A University spokeswoman said the school has stopped shipping backup tapes off-site for now."

Didn't mean to imply all homeless steal

Just stating that some people, desperate for cash , might steal anything. Obviously there are plenty of homeless who are law abiding citizens, just down on their luck.
