Memo to Virginia's Business Community: 'Influenza A H1N1 Outbreak'
Yesterday, a ransom demand from an anonymous hacker to the Virginia Department of Health Professions was posted on the Wikileaks website. The link is listed below. The hacker claims to have possession of more than 8 million patient records from the Virginia Prescription Drug Monitoring Program. Currently, state officials acknowledge that the matter is under investigation by the FBI and the Virginia State Police. It is not known whether any patient records have in fact been compromised. While this has no direct impact on the Board of Funeral Directors and Embalmers, we wanted to keep you abreast of developments since the DHP computers that were hacked also contain regulatory information related to our profession. We will keep you advised as we learn more. (Click the link below for further information.) http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Over_8M_Virginian_patient_records_held_to_ransom%2C_30_Apr_2009
