This one deserves a few eye rolls. : : : and a few :blinkie: :blinkie: :blinkie: but the sad fact is this sort of data breach caused by sheer stupidity (on both the employee's and company's part) is nothing that hasn't happened many times before. A few more eye rolls are in order : : :

Quote:The tapes and disks were taken home by the employee as part of a backup protocol that sent them off-site to protect them against loss from fires or other disasters. That practice, which was only used by the home health care division of the hospital system, has since been stopped, On the eighth day, Morons were created. |
