WellPoint Settlement: 600,000 individuals affected, but no known misuse of data or identity theft, no known harm done, and credit monitoring offered to all who wanted it.  Still, HHS has fined WellPoint $1,700,000 for failing to provide sufficient HIPAA security protection to applicants for its insurance products.
