As many have pointed out, I mis-typed HIPAA as "HIPPA". ;-) I've received a number of emails citing different incidents, as well as several people who would like the same information. As a result I'll compile all the information I receive into one email, and repost it to the list. Regards, Paul J. Farley Jr. GCIA, CISSP, RHCE EventLevel, Inc.

My apologies if this is slightly off topic. If so, please respond to me privately and spare the list any noise. I am trying to gather examples of incidents that have occurred within health care organizations to build a case for management regarding why they need to take security a little more seriously. I'm aware of HIPPA, but specifically looking for anything that tells a compelling story about how a lack of attention in this area cost the organization money, reputation...etc. Thanks, Paul ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attend Black Hat Briefings & Training Europe, May 12-15 in Amsterdam, the world's premier event for IT and network security experts.
