Broward Health detected the attack on Oct. 19 and contained the incident, alerted the FBI and Department of Justice (DoJ), required employees to reset their passwords, and hired an external security firm as part of its investigation, officials wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Broward Health is alerting patients and staff of the incident. Officials noted the DoJ had requested they delay this notification to ensure it doesn&#8217;t compromise the law enforcement investigation, which is still ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>So far, analysis has revealed that personal data accessed includes name, birth date, address, phone number, financial or bank account information, Social Security number, insurance information and account number, driver&#8217;s license number, and email address, as well as medical data that includes&nbsp;history, condition, treatment and diagnosis, and medical record number.<\/p>\n<p>There is no evidence that personal information has been misused, officials noted. <\/p>\n<p>Read <a href=\"https:\/\/browardhealth.org\/pages\/data-incident\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the full disclosure<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"articleFooter-newsletterSignup\" readability=\"10.473404255319\">\n<p>Keep up with the latest cybersecurity threats, newly-discovered vulnerabilities, data breach information, and emerging trends.
