WOWO reports that more than 3.75 million people were affected by a data breach involving CareCloud, a healthcare technology firm used by medical providers.
The breach was initially reported to the SEC in March as having involved one of the firm’s six EHR environments on March 16 for 8 hours. That was later revised to March 10 – March 16.
Federal health regulators say 3,756,469 individuals were affected by the incident, making it one of the largest healthcare data breaches reported so far this year.
The breach involves potentially sensitive information including names and addresses, Social Security numbers, medical and health information, driver’s license numbers, passport information and other government-issued identification. Banking and other financial information may also have been exposed.
