Lost backup tapes that contains information on approx. 1.6 million patients from Nemours. Below is a link to the story and I find this quote pretty interesting:
"You'd need a highly specialized and trained expert and equipment to access this information," Grabusky said. "It's like playing an eight-track tape on an iPod."
Any type of priopriety format that may make it difficult to retrieve the information does mean encrypted and would achieve safe harbor from breach notification as I've heard discussed in the past by OCR.
Definitely will be an interesting one to watch.
