In June, the publication’s researchers found an open web directory containing a data backup belonging to healthcare staffing company MNA Healthcare, according to the Sept. 11 story. The inadvertent leak was caused by a system misconfiguration, which has since been fixed.
The exposed data belonged to roughly 14,000 U.S. healthcare workers, the news outlet reported. The information included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, email addresses, and work experience.
The directory also included the names of hospitals that work with the staffing company. Becker’s reached out to MNA Healthcare for comment.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
