Medical records of Colorado residents compromised

Jon Gordon from Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) says,
On MPR's wavLength blog and American Public Media's Future Tense program, there's a story about how we came across personally identifiable medical records for thousands of residents of Colorado (and some from Illinois) on an FTP server that required no username/password to view the data. Data was sensitive, and some records included SSNs.
