A computer was stolen from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The system contained Social Security numbers, names and medical information of about 10,000 UAB kidney patients.

The computer was stolen from the UAB School of Medicine Research Department in February. The people affected were not notified until June 8. UAB said that was because it took months for the school to reconstruct the missing database.
