"Tampa General Hospital To Notify 1.2 Million Patients of Recent Data Breach"

On July 19, 2023, Tampa General Hospital ("TGH") recently announced that the personal information of about 1.2 million Tampa General Hospital patients was leaked in a recent cyberattack.  On May 31, 2023, TGH detected suspicious activity within its computer systems.  In response, TGH notified the FBI, contained the incident, and then launched an investigation with the assistance of third-party data security specialists.  The TGH investigation confirmed that an unauthorized third party accessed TGH's network and obtained certain files from its systems between May 12, 2023, and May 30, 2023.  After learning that sensitive consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party, TGH reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted.  While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include an individual's name, Social Security number, address, phone number, date of birth, health insurance information, medical record number, patient account number, dates of service, and treatment information.  On July 19, 2023, Tampa General sent out data breach letters to anyone who was affected by the recent data security incident.
