Stolen data was actually encrypted
I'm on the ground: The stolen data was actually encrypted!
Kudos to the Red Cross. A laptop containing confidential donor information was stolen out of file cabinet, and surprise, surprise, the data was encrypted.

Way to go Red Cross.
I'm not sure how it was encrypted or any of the other relevant facts of this case, but this is the first time I've read that the data stolen was encrypted. Other than being glad to read that some company or entity actually did what they are supposed to in protecting our confidential data, I'm sorry the Red Cross even reported it.
