WASHINGTON, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Red Cross (Red Cross) recently experienced a breach of information security at the Missouri-Illinois Blood Services Region. This breach does not affect health history information, but "identifying information", including donor names, dates of birth and Social Security Numbers (SSNs), which is contained in the affected database. The incident did not involve hacking from outside the Red Cross. Rather, a Red Cross employee stole donor information. A federal grand jury has indicted the former employee, who used donor identifying information to obtain credit cards and other accounts. The former employee, who passed all background checks prior to employment, is currently awaiting trial.
