Rite Aid HIPPA data breach Settlement

Rite Aid to pay $1 million in HIPAA settlement
by SearchSecurity.com staff

In its settlement agreement with the HHS over alleged HIPAA violations, the pharmacy chain will pay $1 million and must establish procedures for disposing of protected health information (PHI).

Yet another corporation in violation of protecting individuals private information. Companies still don't get that there are a lot of regulations that are trying to protect the individuals private information. Hopefully sooner rather than later, all companies will take these regulations seriously.
