East Hempfield Township police said someone stole the computer from an unlocked conference room inside the Physicians Alliance office building on Columbia Avenue last week. The theft has raised fears for identity theft. Police said they suspect whoever stole the laptop wanted the computer more than the information on it. Investigators also said the personal information is not easy to access. General Internal Medicine of Lancaster located in the office building sent a letter to patients to alert them of what happened. They told patients in the letter to keep an eye on credit card statements and file a fraud report. _______________________________________________ Dataloss Mailing List (dataloss () attrition org) http://attrition.org/dataloss Tenable Network Security offers data leakage and compliance monitoring solutions for large and small networks.
