Another day, another lost USB key. A Hong Kong doctor has been warned after losing a USB key that contained data on 47 patients.
The drive was lost March 20. It had work files and personal data on 47 patients, including their names, ID numbers, sex, age and operation records.
And of course we're all going to get trained some more:
The doctor will have to undergo a training course on data security within three months. The hospital has reviewed training and protocol on data security guidelines, and the monitoring of staff using removable electronic storage devices will be enhanced.
