The compromised information includes a broad array of personal and protected health data. Specifically, the breach exposed patients' Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Medical Record Number, Health Insurance ID Number, Diagnosis and Treatment Information, Prescription Information, Provider and Treatment Dates, and Billing and Financial Information. The exposure of such detailed records creates a significant risk of identity theft, financial fraud, and medical identity theft for affected individuals.
