Please Rob Me And Location Awareness
I love the name of this site because it describes the behavior people exhibit every time they tell people where they are or where they’re gonna be.
“Location awareness” is the term they use and it fits nicely.
For the love of God and your own safety people. Don’t use social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare to tell people where your are or where you’re gonna be.
Because…
It’s also telling people where your NOT gonna be.
Home.
Careful, careful, careful…
Mass. Patient Identity Exposure
Four hospitals in Massachusetts are investigating why the patient care records of thousands, some containing Social Security numbers and sensitive medical diagnoses, turned up in a pile at a public dump.
Hospital patient record identity theft hazard alert!
Seems there was a ton of patient care records that ended up in a landfill, and not an industrial shredder as they should have.
That is, if they were supposed to have been disposed of.
And of course there’s shock, disgust and the usual things people interviewed say.
Blah, blah, blah
Yes, this could happen to you and the sad part is there is really nothing you can do to prevent it.
Unless, you possess your own patient care records.
Be afraid…
Be very afraid…
