"Illinois Physicians Notify 600K Patients of Data Breach"

The largest independent group of physicians in Illinois is notifying 600,000 patients that their personal information may have been exposed.  DuPage Medical Group (DMG) said that patient data could have been compromised when its computer network was hacked last month. Patient information that the hackers may have accessed includes names, addresses, dates of birth, diagnosis codes, information on medical procedures, and treatment dates. For some patients, there is a chance that their Social Security number may also have been compromised.  DMG experienced a network outage on July 13.  Third-party cyber-forensic specialists were hired to investigate the security incident. They were able to find that unauthorized actors had gained access to the DMG network between July 12, 2021, and July 13, 2021, and that it was the adversaries who had caused the outage.
