Big Boston Data Breach: South Shore Hospital sent back-up computer files to an off-site contractor for destruction, but the shipment wasn't received. Data on 800,000 patients and employees might've been in the files. I really doubt anything untoward happened, and it might not even count as a data breach under HIPAA, but there's a Massachusetts data breach law that requires the notification.
