OrthoMontana is scrambling to warn current and past patients that their
personal information may be on a laptop computer that was recently stolen
from the company.
The Billings orthopedic and sports medicine practice has sent letters
across the city to those who may have been impacted.
"We ... have no reason to believe that your personal information was
accessed or used inappropriately," the letter stated.
Roy Strong, CEO of OrthoMontana, said Thursday that the letter contains
just about all the information the company knows about the theft.
The laptop was heavily encrypted -- two sets of user names and passwords
plus a "biometric finger scan" was required to access its files, he said.
