Late last week I communicated with Linda McGlasson about a story she was putting together for bankinfosecurity that was published today, “Bank of New York Mellon Investigated for Lost Data Tape: 4.5 Million Customers Potentially Exposed.”
It’s a good and interesting article; check it out.
In Linda’s article there was a quote from Bank of New York (BONY) Mellon’s spokesperson Ron Sommer,

A Couple Of Little Known HIPAA Facts
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Last week I was contacted by Corey Goodman, a reporter for HCPro, about a story he is doing that sounds like it will be quite interesting! He is collecting examples and anecdotes about “little know HIPAA facts” and asked me to contribute some for his article.
I anticipate that he will be cutting the couple of little known facts I provided to him down quite a bit, so I wanted to provide them here not only as a future reference for myself, but also for those of you who may be interested!
Another Example Of How Internet Information Impacts Employment Decisions
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008I’ve blogged several times about how employers are inreasingly using information found on the Internet to make hiring, and firing, decisions, such as here and here.

What Business Leaders Need To Know About Employee Privacy
Sunday, May 4th, 2008Here it is May, and I’m just now getting all of my April IT Compliance in Realtime Journal articles blogged about! Being in Las Vegas for a week at CSI SX / Interop really put a monkey wrench in my blogging activity last week.
While at the conference I spoke with many information security and IT leaders about privacy. Most have customer privacy on their minds, but a significant portion have not thought about employee privacy issues.
So, this article, “What Business Leaders Need To Know About Employee Privacy,” which is the third in my April IT Compliance in Realtime Journal issue, is pretty timely.

Do We REALLY Need Doctors To Do Consultations Via Email?
Friday, April 25th, 2008A few months ago I had some lively back-and-forth blog postings with a doctor who used email and instant messaging (IM) a lot in his practice; here, here and here.
Today my good friend Alec forwarded me another interesting news article (thanks Alec!) about the use of email by doctors; “It’s no LOL: Few US doctors answer e-mails from patients.”
