Confidential medical records were found under a freeway by a concerned citizen. A local news team investigation traced the documents back to the insurance claims processor ICW. ICW reported that the issue occurred on February 28 when a bin with files broke open on the way to a disposal site. An unnamed document destruction company responsible for the documents was replaced. Names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and other sensitive and medical information were on the documents. (English)
