BlueCross hard drive theft may put 500K at risk

Fifty-seven hard drives stolen from BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee in October contain the personal information of at least 220,000 members, and possibly up to 500,000, according to a statement from the Chattanooga-based insurer yesterday.

BlueCross is mailing letters to all members explaining what personal information is at risk and offering a year of identity theft monitoring to those affected.
