From a hacker who broke into the Virginia Prescription Monitoring Program:
I have your shit! In *my* possession, right now, are 8,257,378 patient records and a total of 35,548,087 prescriptions. Also, I made an encrypted backup and deleted the original. Unfortunately for Virginia, their backups seem to have gone missing, too. Uhoh :(For $10 million, I will gladly send along the password.
The site has since been shut down. Bruce Schneier has more.
