Data Theft Leads to Identity Theft Warning

This data breach was first reported by local TV earlier this week as a loss of patient records. Now it appears only hospital employees were effected.
On June 24, employees of Thomas Memorial Hospital and St. Francis Hospital received letters from Medical Excess, a medical insurance company, stating there was a break-in at the Medical Excess office where a camera, two laptop computers and a file server was stolen.

The file server contained individual names with corresponding Social Security numbers and birth dates. The letter advised the hospital employees to watch for any unusual activity on their credit card accounts.

McGraw's office determined the break-in exposed more than 900,000 persons to possible identity theft.

This is the first time I every have heard of someone walking off with an entire file server. Most thefts of this nature involve laptops or back-up tapes. A file server would be a little hard to carry off.

FestivALL: Yet More Photos

There are so many sources of FestivALL photos I don't know where to start. Jackie Lantern at Saved By The Torso has added his fish photo.

The gazz editor has a wrap up post, and talks about the technical magic of the Taylor Books GAZZcam.

Dale Morton at the Costume Blog has a post of "Even MORE catfish!"

And there are pointers to FestivALL photos on the FestivALL Charleston blog.

If you have posted photos of FestivALL and want me to link to them, or have seen photos that I haven't linked to, please let me know.

FestivALL


FestivALL starts today with Blues, Brews & BBQ at University of Charleston. It starts at 6 p.m. Tickets are $8 advance and $10 at gate. I'm not sure if you can still get advance tickets this late.

The Neville Brothers are in concert tonight at the Clay Center. I'm not sure if there are still tickets. I believe it might be sold out.

Across the street from where I live, will be the FOOTMAD Stage at Slack Plaza again this year. The music will kick off at noon and last until 6 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday.

The complete Schedule of FestivALL Events can be found here. Check it out for the full listings of all the events. Also don't forget to check out the FestivALL blog over at the GAZZ.

For those fans of the Taylor Books GazzCam, I'm sure it will be quite busy this weekend.
