From Times Wire Reports
Drug distributor McKesson Corp. said that two computers containing confidential patient data were stolen from the company July 18.
The computers contained data on thousands of participants in a program that McKesson administers to help supply drugs to low-income patients, spokesman James Larkin said. He declined to say which health-care firm had hired McKesson to run the program or whether the data were encrypted.
