Almost half a million breached health records in January; 60% from one hacking incident alone

Posted on February 28, 2018 by Dissent

Protenus has released its Breach Barometer for January health data breaches. While the number of insider and external incidents continue to run pretty much neck-to-neck, once again external breaches accounted for significantly more breached records than insider incidents. Protenus reports:

Of note, hacking incidents affected significantly more patient records, due largely to one particular breach that affected 59% of the total number of breached patient records this past month.

There were 37 incidents reported on in Protenus’s report, as identified below. For some incidents, we had no details other than what was reported on HHS’s public breach tool.
