http://www.nextgov.com/nextgov/ng_20110125_5321.php By Bob Brewin NextGov 01/25/2011 No data has been siphoned off the Defense Department PharmacoEconomic Center website and domain as the result of a hacker attack reported by a security firm last week, a Military Health System spokesman said. Austin Camacho, a spokesman for the TRICARE Management Activity, part of MHS, said in an e-mail that the PharmacoEconomic Center website has been taken down while security teams from the Army, which manages the center, review security flaws to identify potential vulnerabilities. The PharmacoEconomic Center website is a public access site and does not house any personally identifiable information, nor does it contain data regarding patient drug profiles, Camacho said. He added there is no data from the Prescription Medication Analysis and Reporting Tool, which is used to manage medication profiles, on the PharmacoEconomic Center website. Clinicians access PMART information from a separate secure server, Camacho said.
