Patients in Stanford’s group health plans, who have dependents under the age of 18, had their protected health information compromised after Brightline was affected by a security breach at cybersecurity firm Fortra.

Stanford said most of the information compromised was “demographic in nature,” and included the following: names, contact information, member IDs, dates of birth and coverage information, according to an April 7 breach notification from Stanford.
On April 7, Brightline began notifying all impacted individuals.
