Information leaks have tangible consequences, Johnson said in his address, "Data Hemorrhages in the Health-Care Sector." "My first real personal issue was when my credit card was breached by the old Panda restaurant in town," he joked, referring to the Panda House restaurant, which closed in 2005 after patrons accused the establishment of credit card fraud.
