April 10, 2023 Group Watch: Hospital Patient Info May Have Been Disclosed in Cyber Security “Incident”
A healthcare company that runs six hospitals in Alabama announced that patient and other information may have been disclosed during a cyber security incident. The company, whose hospitals in the state include Grandview Medical Center in Birmingham and Crestwood Medical Center in Huntsville, said a cybersecurity firm it contracts with to provide secure file transfer software became aware of the incident in late January. The healthcare company’s investigation so far has determined that personal information on patients, a limited number of employees and other individuals may have been disclosed to the unauthorized party.
