"Accellion Breach Impacts Beaumont Health"

Another Accellion breach victim has been named nine months after threat actors exploited zero-day vulnerabilities in the company’s File Transfer Application.  Beaumont Health has notified approximately 1500 patients that their personal data may have been compromised in the December attack on Accellion software.   The potentially impacted information included a listing of roughly 1500 patients who had one of two procedures performed at a Beaumont Hospital.  The list included the patient name, procedure name, physician name, the internal medical record number and the date of service. Beaumont Health stated that this incident is limited to these patients and does not affect all patients of Beaumont.  The healthcare provider added that no financial information had been impacted by the incident and that neither Beaumont nor Goodwin had found any evidence of the compromised data being misused. News of the data breach comes a year after a phishing attack on Beaumont Health may have exposed the data of 6000 patients.
