As Alanis Morrissette would say “And isn’t it ironic … don’t you think”. A relative just received a breach notification letter from from Health Net.

Some wording we find interesting:

“The purpose of this letter is to inform you of a matter involving an unencrypted portable computer disk drive was discovered missing from a Health Net office”.

What’s interesting about this sentence is that they use the term “unencrypted”. So the majority of the general public does not know what this term means. However, Health Net indirectly acknowledges that the drive should have been encrypted, and perhaps they will implement encryption in their company.
