Nashville, TN – Tennessee's largest health insurer says it has secured all its stored electronic records. BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee officials say there is no indication any customer information on computer hard drives stolen in October 2009 has been misused. The company has completed a $6 million project that spokeswoman Mary Danielson says makes it possibly the first large company and first health insurer to encrypt all stored data. The insurer's vice president of technology, Michael Lawley, says the company also adopted stricter security policies. Fifty-seven hard drives containing information on about 1 million customers were stolen, BlueCross BlueShield provided free credit monitoring to members who were identified at risk of identity theft.
