The protected health information involved included names, addresses, dates of birth, and social security numbers. Although Mercer concluded that the lost tape was configured so that even a sophisticated user would be unlikely to be able to access the data within, both Mercer and Idaho Power notified all possible affected individuals and offered free credit protection services. To prevent a similar breach from occurring in the future, Mercer now stores backup tapes through a third party vendor who offers secure transport services. Mercer's Boise office now encrypts backup tapes.
