I agree with you that enforcement of the penalties would help deter incidents like these. Until that happens, I feel we're at the mercy of these institutions. -MC Hi Michael, thanks for stopping by.

How many companies, especially health care industry ones, will continue to be so reckless with people’s personal information. I really wish HIPAA would start taking violators to task. I recently wrote about <a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Modern-Medical-Office:--Balancing-Success,-Technology,-and-HIPAA&id=397130" rel="nofollow"> HIPAA</a> and I really believe that if we were have it being enforced there would be a significant change in the number of laptops packed with ssn's that go missing or lapses in system networks where private info is listed to prying eyes.
