"Hack of PJ&A Tops 2023 US Healthcare Data Breaches as Tally Jumps by 4M"
An attack on the medical transcription company Perry Johnson & Associates (PJ&A) is now considered the largest US health sector data breach that occurred in 2023. PJ&A provides transcription services to medical facilities in the US, so it holds sensitive information about millions of Americans. Last year, hackers breached the company between March 27 and May 2, later stealing personal data from its systems in April. PJ&A disclosed that the breach affected more than 8.95 million people.
