An article entitled "THIEF NABS SENSITIVE LAPTOP" in the Edmonton Sun on Wednesday July 26, 2006 shows the concern over proper security needed for medical and personal information.

About 8,000 clients of MD Management, a subsidiary of the Canadian Medical Association, had their records stored on a laptop by an employee. Guy Belanger, president of MD Financial Group, said the computer was taken when the employee's car was broken into.

Belanger said the information was protected by a password.

If they had followed the POSP protocol of 2 factor security, this would not be as much of a concern.  There are strict guidelines on laptop security.
