USA Today analyzed data from Health and Human Services and found the following:
- From 2010 to 2014, 50 million people had their medical data stolen.
- In the following five years, that number quadrupled.
- According to the report, there has been an increase in vulnerabilities as healthcare providers fail to protect legacy systems when they switch to electronic medical records.
- Hacking accounts for about half of all security breaches, while about one-third are caused by employee errors.
