BAD NEWS, GOOD NEWS, AND...: "We are deeply sorry," said Joe Rafferty,
chief executive of Britain's National Health Service for the Central
Lancashire region. "This should never have happened." An NHS employee
lost a computer memory stick containing the health information of as
many as 6,360 patients. But the good news is, the clerk who lost the
memory stick made sure the data on the removable device had been
encrypted for privacy. On the other hand, when he lost the device,
there was a sticky note attached to it with the encryption password
written on it. (Lancashire Evening Post) ...And anyone with any
password written on a sticky note isn't entitled to laugh at them.
