2.65 Million Records Exposed in Atrium Health Breach

Another massive data breach announcement has made headline, this time for healthcare and wellness program provider Atrium Health, formerly known as Carolinas HealthCare Systems, according to a joint announcement from Atrium Health and AccuDoc. After one of its third-party vendors, AccuDoc Solutions, was hacked, Atrium Health announced that approximately 2.65 million patient records were potentially compromised. The data possibly compromised includes patient insurance policy information, medical record numbers, invoice numbers, addresses, dates of birth and social security numbers. “Third-party risk management isn't just a security problem anymore. These issues are making their way up to the board because higher levels of risk deter business success and growth,” said George Wrenn, CEO and founder, CyberSaint Security.
