Magna Terra president Franco Vigile sent a second email apologizing for the privacy breach and saying the employee responsible for the original email sent Sept. 30 had been let go.

“We take risks daily to ensure all of our members have safe and convenient access to their medication which I believe outlines our sincerity and dedication towards caring about our members which leaves me extremely upset over this situation,” said Vigile’s apology email. He wrote that he had contacted the service provider to “try and rectify the error by recalling all of the emails sent out.”
