When I see this kind of news, I really feel it scared and sympathetic for the people who are at risk from this kind of laptop data theft. I really wish that this kind of incident can be totally avoided by all the companies. Baylor Health say two months ago that a laptop was stolen. Now, they’re saying that the secret information of 7,400 patients is at risk of falling into the wrong hand.

HealthTexas Provider Network Inc., a subsidiary of Dallas-based Baylor Health Care System, is notifying about 7,400 patients of the potential compromise of their Social Security numbers and other personal information after a laptop containing the data was stolen in September.
It is also contacting an additional 100,000 people whose records on the laptop contained a "limited amount" of health information -- though not Social Security numbers, Baylor said in a statement yesterday.
