"California Health Network Reports Data Breach"

Cybercriminals may have accessed the protected health information (PHI) of hundreds of thousands of patients of a network of community health centers based in California.  Nonprofit Community Medical Centers (CMC) primarily serve low-income patients, migrants, and homeless people in the Northern California counties of San Joaquin, Solano, and Yolo. CMC stated that some unusual network activity was detected on October 10th.  During the investigation, they found that unauthorized individuals had gained access to parts of its network in which patients' protected health information was stored.  Data that the hackers may have obtained includes medical information, first and last names, mailing addresses, dates of birth, demographic information, and Social Security numbers.
