Hopkins Loses Data on 135,000 Workers and Patients
Hopkins Loses Data on 135,000 Workers and Patients
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007
Data Loss Source: Backup computer tapes containing personal information about workers and patients - some of it sensitive – have gone missing.
Date Reported: February 12, 2006
Size of Loss: Information on 135,000 workers and patients
Affected Individuals:
Geographic Focus: Massachusetts
Data contained: Eight university computer tapes, routinely sent to a contractor that makes microfiche archives of the data, held Social Security numbers, addresses and direct-deposit bank account information for 52,567 former and current employees. A separate tape from the hospital had names, dates of birth, sex, race and medical record numbers for 83,000 new hospital patients seen between July 4 and Dec. 18, 2006, or those who updated their information during that period.
Additional Notes: Hopkins officials said they believe the data, which did not include patient medical information, was not compromised.
