Stanford Notifying Patients of Possible Health Data Breach
On Friday, Stanford School of Medicine officials said they are alerting 2,500 patients about the recent theft of a password-protected computer that might have contained patient names, health records and some Social Security numbers. University officials said tracking software installed on the computer does not indicate that the patient information has been accessed.
