Lucas123 writes "A vehicle used by an offsite archive company to transport patient data was broken into on March 17. The University of Miami just made the theft public last week, saying the thieves removed a transport case carrying the school's six computer backup tapes. On those tapes were more than 2 million medical records. In fact, the archive company waited 48 hours before notifying the university itself. A University spokeswoman said the school has stopped shipping backup tapes offsite for now."

  • This case should be pretty simple to solve. Just track down whoever buys a 9-track tape reader off eBay in the next month and nail him to the wall.
