			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In another standard incident, <a title="article" href="http://www.portlandtribune.com/news/story.php?story_id=124484729423229000" target="_blank">Oregon Health and Science University reveals</a> that one of its doctors had a laptop stolen from her car parked in front of her house.  OHSU says that the information on the laptop was &#8220;password protected&#8221; and was limited.</p>
<p>&#8220;The information included patient names, treatment dates, short medical treatment summaries and medical record numbers. No home addresses, billing information and Social Security numbers were stored on the laptop.&#8221; Or, so says the report.</p>
<p>Here are our standard elements:</p>
<ol>
<li>The laptop was stolen from a parked car.</li>
<li>The breaching organization says that the information was &#8220;password protected,&#8221; insinuating that that constitutes some bona fide protection.</li>
<li>The breaching organization claims ID theft is unlikely.</li>
</ol>
<p>All of these are standard boilerplate for such a breach, but there&#8217;s no mention of trackability, remote data deletion, or encryption.</p>
<p>For those affected, OHSU says you&#8217;re not at much risk. Hopefully that&#8217;s a comfort to you. Hopefully.</p>
