Bethany Wesley reports:
North Country Health Services’ online bill-paying function was apparently hacked into on April 18, compromising the security of 349 customers’ credit card and debit card accounts.
NCHS is sending letters to all those who could be affected by the breach, said Joy Johnson, NCHS vice president for marketing and business development.
The incident is only related to the health system’s online bill pay, she noted. Those who paid by credit card in person or use an ATM at the hospital are not affected.
