Two Laptops Stolen from Baystate Medical Center’s Pediatrics

March 4, 2009

Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts is concerned over several laptops that were stolen from the pediatrics department.

Although the information did not include any financial or social security numbers, and even though the laptops were password protected, the medical center still sent a letter to all those who may have been affected as a safety precaution.

This is one to keep any eye on anyways as password protected laptops are far less secure then encrypted ones. If you receive a letter you should, at least, monitor your credit by ordering your free credit report from www.annualcreditreport.com.
