The wikileaks.org web site, which is a pretty famous repository of "leaked" documents that were never supposed to see light, is reporting about a supposedly large security breach of the Virginia Prescription Monitoring Program (VPMP). According to the web site and other sources around the web, the web site was defaced by an unknown hacker that left a ransom note asking for 10 million US$ in order to return the data. |

Not to mention that any backup that is accessible electronically is not an "end-of-the-world" backup. There should always be off-site backups, and there should always be air-gapped backups (i.e. a backup tape that is sitting on a shelf and requires human intervention to insert into a tape library).

Completely agree - I totally forgot to write about tapes, which are *a must have*.
