Backup tapes, along with a computer and other property, were stolen in December from a employee’s locked car. The registry says it has no evidence that the information on the tapes has been accessed or misused. “We believe that it is unlikely than an identity theft will occur from this situation,” the letter states. The incident does not fall under the HITECH Act breach notification rule, which requires the reporting of health information security incidents, the registry says. “CBR has strengthened and tightened our data security procedures,” a BRB spokesman says.”]
