$1M Reward Offered To Nab Data Breach Extortionist

alphadogg writes with this excerpt from NetworkWorld: "Express Scripts, the pharmacy benefits management company which recently disclosed an extortionist is demanding money by threatening to expose millions of patient records the company holds, Wednesday said it has decided to offer $1 million to nab the perpetrator. 'We're going on the offense with this reward,' an Express Scripts spokesman said. The $1 million will be paid to anyone who provides information leading to the capture and conviction of the extortionist who sent a letter to Express Scripts in early October that contained personal information on 75 people, considered members, who use the company's pharmacy-benefits services. The extortionist claims to have information on millions more Express Scripts members and wants money to not reveal it."

Pharmacom called.

They're upset that the records on the Black Shakes might be released. Did Johnny Mnemonic loop it through Jones?

You cant compare theft to drug use.

Smart people do commit crimes ( morals have nothing to do with intelligence ). The dumb ones get caught and serve time.

Well crap. I'd mod you insightful, but I already posted...
