Rip of the Week: It Gets Worse: 860,000 More Victims of Stolen Laptop Data Breach

The Gainsville Sun reports a further development on a breach that was first reported back in February. Originally, a figure of 208,000 victims was posted, though now the original figure is pegged at 360,000.

Regardless, an additional 860,000 current and former members of AvMed are being notified that their personal information is at risk due to the apparent theft of two laptops, which went missing from a locked conference room at AvMed Health Plans’ Gainsville office back on December 11.

AvMed once again mentions that there is no evidence of any malicious use of the data, which is normal, and that they are “strengthening data security and procedures.” Thanks to Redemtech for the heads up on the article.
