The hospital discovered on July 12 that an unauthorized party accessed files that contained patient names, email addresses, Social Security numbers, medical record numbers and Medicare numbers. In a filing with the HHS, the hospital described the breach as a hacking incident in the network server.
The hospital has no indication that any personal information was misused, according to a Sept. 26 data breach notification. However, the health system is providing free credit monitoring services to individuals whose Social Security numbers were in the breached files.
