Patient IDs wrongly trashed at Ala base

The military says as many as 2,300 patients are affected by a breach of personal information at the Lyster Army Health Clinic at Fort Rucker.

Paper records with the names and Social Security numbers of patients were tossed into a recycling bin at the southeast Alabama base on July 2.

The Army says no medical information was released. But it's now sending letters to about 2,300 patients whose identifying information may have been compromised.
