What are our rights?
Why is the burden of protection put on us? Why isn't AvMed taking the responsibility of fixing this for us, by enrolling us in the protection, after all, they have all of our information!
How do I find out about a class action suit?
Why do I have to spend so much time on this?
Why did it take almost 2 months to notify us?
Why didn't they have better protection and are they able to track the laptops, if not, why not.

class action seems needed to get drastic change to data handling protocols established by those who do not use them AND DO NOT seem to use common sense. lojack for laptops is much cheaper than this fiasco to all included - YOU THINK!?!?
OUCH!

My information was also stolen. Is there any information for a law suit available????

Class Action law suit where are you?
I work real hard to protect my credit and this happens. Two years of credit protection-what about a lifetime protection plan? Am I only in jeopardy for two years with my information being stolen? I think not!!

Look, two laptops were stolen and one of them was recovered. It is almost sure the other one was wiped clean by the theif. He stole the laptops to use them as laptops not to steal info. The data on the laptop is VERY hard to get to. Even professional IT staff and consultants took 6 months to figure it out. My data was there but I'm not concerned. I got a similar letter from my university and they aren't offering any credit protection. FPL was recently caught hiding data. Be more concerned about the comoanies who aren't send you letters because they are covering up their mistakes!
