    Walgreen Co. reported that 160,000 patients had PHI involved in an August 1st November 6th breach involving paper records. I was unable to find any coverage of this, but this could be big, as Walgreen has had problems before with paper records, and was even fined in the past. This is the fifth breach involving Walgreens to show up on HHSs public breach tool since its inception in September 2009. (English)
