An unauthorized party gained access to a “limited number” of employee email accounts at Chicago-based Saint Anthony Hospital, potentially exposing patient information.
The safety-net hospital notified patients in June after discovering the incident in February and reporting it to HHS in September. An estimated 6,679 individuals were affected.
Breached data may have included names, addresses, dates of birth, telephone numbers, and medical histories. A ransomware group also targeted the hospital in 2024.
