East Tennessee Children’s Hospital
Hannah Moore reports that a lawsuit originally filed on June 1 following a cybersecurity data breach at the hospital. It alleged that the breach in March lead to the personal information of more than 400,000 patients being exposed. On July 20, the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, dropping the suit.
