San Jose Home Health Services Vendor Warns Patients of Possible Data Breach

Home health care services vendor San Jose Medical Supply Company has sent letters to former and current patients saying that the security of their health care information might have been compromised when personal data were given by former associates of the firm to two rival vendors. The letter advises patients to register a fraud alert with major credit bureaus and to monitor their financial and health account statements and credit bureau reports.
