The computer was given to Johns Hopkins security personnel on Sunday afternoon by Michael Mastracci, a Baltimore lawyer who says he learned of its whereabouts from a client and arranged to have it turned over to him. An initial investigation suggests the data on the computer, which includes patients' names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, medical histories and other personal information, was not compromised, Hopkins officials said. Inspection of the computer after it was returned indicated it was probably never turned on after it was stolen and found no evidence anyone sought or gained access to the database information on the computer's hard drive, officials said.
