"57,000 Patients Impacted by Michigan Medicine Data Breach"

Michigan Medicine, the academic medical center of the University of Michigan, recently started notifying roughly 57,000 individuals that their personal and health information might have been compromised in a data breach.  The incident resulted from threat actors gaining access to employee email accounts on May 23 and May 29.  The compromised accounts were disabled as soon as the data breach was discovered.   Potentially exposed information contained in some emails and attachments includes names, addresses, dates of birth, medical record numbers, diagnostic and treatment information, and health insurance information.  Both patients and insurance guarantors were affected.  Michigan Medicine noted that no credit card, debit card, or bank account numbers were compromised in the incident, but the Social Security numbers of four patients were exposed in the hack.
