More than 100 million individuals had their private health information stolen during the ransomware attack on Change Healthcare in February, a cyberattack that caused months of unprecedented outages and widespread disruption across the U.S. healthcare sector.
Und jetzt festhalten:
The stolen data varies by individual, but Change previously confirmed that it includes personal information, such as names and addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers and email addresses, and government identity documents, including Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and passport numbers. The stolen health data includes diagnoses, medications, test results, imaging and care and treatment plans, and health insurance information — as well as financial and banking information found in claims and payment data taken by the criminals.
Und das von jedem dritten US-Bürger. Wann kommt endlich bei uns die elektronische Gesundheitsakte?
