Not good publicity for Express Scripts, the popular mail away pharmacy:
Yesterday the pharmacy benefits manager said some of its clients have received anonymous letters threatening to expose the personal information of patients, the WSJ reports.
Express Scripts believes the threats, sent to employers, government programs and others who offer its prescription-drug plans, are part of an an extortion attempt disclosed last week.
One more reason why security and privacy should be at the forefront of any national electronic record initiative.
