8 class action lawsuits have been filed in the wake of last year’s TRICARE health information breach. Some of the 4.9 million beneficiaries affected became victims of financial fraud tied to their credit cards or bank accounts. The breach involved the theft of unencrypted computer tapes containing personal information, including Social Security numbers, but not financial data, officials with the military health program said last year. The tapes were stolen from an employee’s parked car of an employee of Science Applications International Corp. The employee was responsible for transporting tapes between federal facilities in San Antonio.”]
