California - State Supreme Court Limits Liability for Medical Data Breaches If a tree falls unseen in the forest, has it truly fallen? If the unencrypted medical records of 4 million people vanish with a stolen desktop computer, has there really been a security breach? A Sacramento County Superior Court said yes, but a state appellate court said no and last week the California Supreme Court <http://www.allgov.com/usa/ca/departments/judicial-branch/supreme_court_of_california?agencyid=186> issued a one-line statement that it would not get involved. The appellate court ruled that victims of the data loss did not have a claim for damages because they could not prove that the data was looked at by the thief. http://bit.ly/ZGbMDb Source: http://www.allgov.com/usa/ca/news/top-stories/state-supreme-court-limits-liability-for-medical-data-breaches-141021?news=854589 See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/ZGbMDb+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
