Amazon One Medical reported a cybersecurity event affecting a limited number of patients at its senior care business, the company disclosed in a June 17 statement.
On June 13, One Medical learned that an unauthorized person gained access to a third-party file storage system used to retain archived information of Iora Health, a company One Medical acquired in 2021 that today operates as One Medical Senior Health. The company deactivated the system, revoked all access and launched an investigation.
The investigation determined that certain patient files related to a limited number of legacy Iora Health and One Medical Senior patients were accessed. One Medical said no other patients were affected and that the event was isolated to the third-party storage system, with no other One Medical or Amazon systems affected.
“We take the security of patient information seriously and are implementing additional safeguards to prevent similar events in the future,” the company stated. One Medical is notifying affected patients directly and did not disclose how many were impacted.
