Carolinas HealthCare System Breach: The health records of about 5600 behavioral health patients at Carolinas Medical Center-Randolph were potentially exposed to a hacker who gained access to the email system.  The hospital discovered the breach when it was updating its security software.  It seems that only 5 of the patients had their social security numbers accessed, and a limited number of others might have had some medical data exposed.  More here.
