Someone Broke Into Our Hospital

Several weeks ago, someone broke into our local hospital. They were looking for medical records, and they planned to sell them. I have no idea who would buy information like that, but he seemed to think that people would pay big money for it. Luckily, he didn’t find anything. That was because the hospital used Web based EMR, and all of their patient information was stored on a secure server off-site. It was a change that the hospital had made only months before, and I am so glad that they did. It may have saved a lot of people from serious losses of their privacy.
