Blue Cross: 840,000 healthcare records at risk after laptop theft

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey says 839,711 members may be at risk after two employee laptops were stolen in November. The laptops were left on the desk, presumably safe from theft because they were protected by a cable-lock. However, the data on those systems was not encrypted, potentially exposing members to fraud and identity theft. BCBDNJ didn’t explain why they opted for this layer of protection and not encryption, and that the locks didn’t prevent the theft ultimately.”]
