St. Mary's Patient Data Breach RENO, NV (KUNR) - Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center has sent

letters to about 128,000 patients informing them their personal

information may have been compromised.

Officials say someone without authorization may have accessed a

database that contained names, addresses and some Social Security

numbers.

The potential breach was discovered in April, but officials say

notification was delayed because the database had to be

reconstructed.

Investigators have found no evidence that identity theft or

fraud has occurred.

Saint Mary's says it will pay for a year of credit monitoring

for people whose Social Security numbers were in the database.
