I read about this laptop being taken the other day. What kind of cockroach would steal from a blood donor clinic. I hope they need blood sometime and can't get it.
Obviously the clinic is at fault for lax security but these people are giving blood to help save lives and now they have to worry about their identity being stolen.
Now I'm pissed off before the holidays :mad: :mad: sonsabitches

The kind that wants personal information. Dont you have to use your SSN when identifying yourself to the Blood Bank? (I cant remember since I signed up a long time ago)
I don't I ever had to give my SIN but it looks like the SSN is used in the US

donors whose names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and other key information was contained in a database on the laptop.
You'd wonder why they would have all that info stored locally but if they're a mobile clinic I guess they have too many networking issues??Quote:
The laptop is now in the hands of a forensics expert who will try to determine whether or not the database was accessed or copied, Morrison said. The blood bank believed the laptop was stolen for its hardware rather than for the information it contained, he added, noting that the computer's security features offered some protection to the sensitive data.
