A Miami-based Jessie Trice Community Health Center has told its nearly 8,000 patients that their personal information from the center’s network has been stolen in a massive breach.
The stolen data contains full names, social security number and date of birth of 7,800 patients.
Annie Neasman, President & CEO of Jessie Trice Community Health Center said the incident is under investigation by the FBI and IRS.
The leadership of Jessie Trice Community Health Center, Inc. deeply regrets this incident and is working vigorously and diligently assessing how to mitigate future risks to all patients and has implemented new procedures and protocols to protect patient information so that this type of theft cannot reoccur, according to the statement.
The authorities found out about the breach late July and notified to the Miami health center on November 3, 2014.
A data breach like this is not something shocking these days, cyber criminals are taking advantage of vulnerable systems operated by unskilled staff. It’s time to educate the staff about advantages of cyber security.
