Several laptops were stolen from the administrative office of Aspire Indiana on Nov. 7, 2014. An investigation found that emails on the laptops contained client and employees' Social Security numbers, names and addresses as well as personal health information of Aspire clients. 1,548 of those notified had their Social Security numbers compromised. The organization routinely collects data on HIV care data, substance abuse treatment and mental health services. "Our organization is committed to maintaining the privacy and security of the personal information in our control, and we sincerely regret this incident occurred," said Aspire's president and CEO Rich DeHaven, in a public notice.

The incident involved a business associate, Keystone Insurers Group. The city kindly provided PHIprivacy.net with a copy of the legal notice they posted in The Henderson Gleaner on May 9, 2014: In 2012, the City of Henderson, Kentuckys health benefit plan (Plan) began exploring the possibility of opening a health clinic for its employees and their dependents to try to reduce health plan costs, and began providing information to its broker to help with this process. On several occasions between January 23, 2013 and March 3, 2014, the broker shared data from the Plan with several health care providers (and one business associate of a provider) who were being considered as possible partners with the City in development of such a clinic. On March 11, 2014, the City learned that the data shared with these potential partners included its Plan Participants detailed individually identifiable health information. The City has conducted an investigation and concluded that more health information was disclosed than was minimally necessary to obtain proposals for the health clinic, although there is no reason to believe the information was misused in any way. The information released to the broker and then to the providers included names of Plan participants, insurance ID numbers, addresses, gender, birthdate, and information about the treatment, diagnosis, prescriptions, expenses, providers, and workers compensation claims (if applicable) of Plan Participants. The City has no reason to believe that your information has been misused or disclosed inappropriately by anyone who received it. All the recipients are required to comply with the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) privacy law and protect the information they received. In addition, all of them have assured us that they have not forwarded the information to anyone else (other than the business associate, who forwarded the information to one of the providers). We have asked the recipients to destroy any copies of the information they may have had in their files. Nevertheless, in an abundance of caution, we are in the process of sending notification letters to those persons affected so that they may take any extra precautions that they might consider to be necessary. The City is treating this matter very seriously and is working to ensure something like this does not happen again. It has put procedures in place to assure only the minimum amount of your health information is used, disclosed or requested for its future administrative needs, and it has asked its broker to provide us with assurances that its employees have received adequate training on all applicable HIPAA requirements. The safety and security of your health information are among the Citys and the Plans highest priorities. Even though the City has no evidence that Plan Participant information has been misused, it encourages Plan Participants to review carefully all regular and electronic correspondence received from UMR (the company that processes the Plans health care claims) for unauthorized activity, such as claims paid out of the HRA that Participants do not recognize, or an explanation of benefits detailing treatment Participants did not receive. If you have other questions concerning your health information, please contact Dawn S. Kelsey, City Attorney, at 270-831-1200, City of Henderson, P.O. Box 716, Henderson, KY 42419-0716.; |

According to the district they have reason to believe some employee and student personal data may have been compromised through the access or use by an unauthorized individual. Roughly 50 staff members whose accounts were compromised had the security on their accounts reset immediately upon discovery. Families of students whose data may have been accessed have been contacted by the district. The breach is believed to date back to January 2018 and could impact as many as 500,000 students who were enrolled in the district between the 2008-09 and 2018-19 school years, according to district officials. SDUSD Information Technology staff discovered an unauthorized user was gathering network access log-in information from staff and using that information to log into the district’s network services, including the district student database. This happened through “phishing,” a scam technique where a person creates phony emails that appear to be from a legitimate source and contain harmful links. Unfortunately, this type of scam has become widespread throughout the world.; |

On Nov. 5, 2013, it was discovered that a Coulee Medical Center employed physician had shared certain patient information with his wife. The information shared includes: patient account number (a number used solely by the hospital for purposes of identification), date of service, CPT code and description of health care services that the patient received at Coulee Medical Center. The information that was accessed may have, in some instances, also included the patients name. Coulee Medical Center has taken measures to prevent further access to this information. Coulee Medical Center is committed to providing quality care and protecting patients personal information, and apologizes for the inconvenience and concern this may be for affected patients. The affected patients will receive direct mail correspondence from Coulee Medical Center. If you have questions about this incident or concerns about how it may impact you, please contact the Coulee Medical Center Privacy Officer at (509) 633-1753. Although I havent yet found a copy of the actual notification letter mailed to patients, at least one recipient was not appreciative at all. And the doctor in question, who reportedly was not named in the letter sent to patients, publicly responded and indicated that he felt the medical center had unfairly tarnished his reputation: In an interview, Dr. Andrew Castrodale said the HIPAA notice, made under the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, implied the work had been about figuring out bonus pay, but was actually meant to devise a reliable tool for measuring and reporting the efficiency and productivity of health care providers at Coulee Medical Center. Although it did not name Castrodale, the Notice of Patient Privacy Breach that arrived in mailboxes Jan. 3 and 4 said the doctor had improperly shared patient information with his wife. Castrodale said his wife, Sherril, is an actuary, and was helping him build a standardized statistical tool that could be used by Coulee Medical Center. None of this has to do with anyones medical history, he said. I find it somewhat shocking that a physician would suggest that PHI that includes CPT codes, description of services, and in some cases, patients names, is not covered by HIPAA or that this was not a big deal particularly in a small town where people might be recognized by unusual conditions or services. In any event, unless the physician wishes to claim that PHI is not PHI, it seems hat the doctor shared patients PHI with his wife without authorization or consent of the patients. However noble his intentions, and however much he believes the medical center may have misrepresented his motivation, unless he had consent or a HIPAA waiver, I think its pretty clear he did violate HIPAAs Privacy Rule. That said, was the hospitals notification accurate and appropriate? Did they have an obligation to explain to recipients that the disclosure to the doctors wife was reportedly so she could provide actuarial advice? Was this, as some of have suggested, a political dirty trick to discredit the doctor? The incident wound up contributing to the medical center hiring new legal counsel: A majority of hospital district commissioners voted Thursday to immediately hire new legal counsel, then went into closed session with the new attorney. Commissioner Jerry Kennedy said the boards reasons for changing attorneys had been compounded the week before when the hospital administration mailed a notice of a privacy breach, reportedly to thousands, saying a doctor had violated federal patient privacy rules. One of the hopes that I had was that _ having legal counsel involved in that would help minimize reputational damage to the institution and to staff that might be potentially involved, Kennedy said. I didnt feel, as a lot of people didnt feel, that that happened. The HIPAA notice, made under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, came at a time when the hospital administration has been at seemingly irreconcilable odds with its doctors, who have expressed no confidence in administration. So how does a political controversy factor into a HIPAA breach notification? It shouldnt, of course, and if the medical center did not give patients the information they needed to assess their risk of harm because of any secondary or political agenda, then thats problematic. Id love to see what HHS does with this one if they get all the facts. But this is also a useful reminder of why covered entities should consult with lawyers and experts on breach response before making any statements or sending out any notification letters.; |

There are indications that the same attack methods may have been used in this intrusion as with breaches at Anthem and Premera, incidents that collectively involved data on more than 90 million Americans. On May 20, 2015, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) announced that the company has been the target of a sophisticated cyberattack. The attackers gained limited, unauthorized access to a single CareFirst database. This was discovered as a part of the company's ongoing Information Technology (IT) security efforts in the wake of recent cyberattacks on health insurers. CareFirst engaged Mandiant __ one of the world's leading cybersecurity firms __ to conduct an end-to-end examination of its IT environment. This review included multiple, comprehensive scans of the CareFirst's IT systems for any evidence of a cyberattack. The review determined that in June 2014 cyberattackers gained access to a single database in which CareFirst stores data that members and other individuals enter to access CareFirst's websites and online services. Mandiant completed its review and found no indication of any other prior or subsequent attack or evidence that other personal information was accessed. Evidence suggests the attackers could have potentially acquired member-created user names created by individuals to access CareFirst's website, as well as members' names, birth dates, email addresses and subscriber identification number. However, CareFirst user names must be used in conjunction with a member-created password to gain access to underlying member data through CareFirst's website. The database in question did not include these passwords because they are fully encrypted and stored in a separate system as a safeguard against such attacks. The database accessed by attackers contained no member Social Security numbers, medical claims, employment, credit card, or financial information. "We deeply regret the concern this attack may cause", said CareFirst President and CEO Chet Burrell. "We are making sure those affected understand the extent of the attack __ and what information was and was not affected. Even though the information in question would be of limited use to an attacker, we want to protect our members from any potential use of their information and will be offering free credit monitoring and identity theft protection for those affected for two years." Approximately 1.1 million current and former CareFirst members and individuals who do business with CareFirst online who registered to use CareFirst's websites prior to June 20, 2014 are affected by this event. All affected members will receive a letter from CareFirst offering two free years of credit monitoring and identity theft protection. The letters will contain an activation code and you must have the letter to enroll in the offered protections. Out of an abundance of caution, CareFirst has blocked member access to these accounts and will request that members create new user names and passwords.; |

Exactly who was behind the attack is unclear, Joseph said, but it is believed to be a criminal operation based in Russia or a neighboring republic.

BY KELLEY BOUCHARDSTAFF WRITER Sharefacebooktweetredditemailprint8 COMMENTS FREEPORT — The town’s municipal computer network is back up and running after a cyberattack one week ago that has been linked to Russian criminals and a global ransomware group, the town manager said Tuesday. Logically, a national information technology provider based in Portland, brought down the town’s network around 1 p.m. on June 8 after it detected a cyberattack, Town Manager Peter Joseph said. While the move successfully contained the attack, it shut down phone and online communications and disrupted municipal services across every department. The attack came with a ransom note directing the town to pay $10,000 in cryptocurrency through Avaddon, a ransomware group responsible for numerous malware incidents since 2020, Joseph said. The town didn’t respond to the note, paid no ransom and experienced no data breach, he said. “Our opinion is the attack was only partly successful and was stopped early,” Joseph said, emphasizing that no sensitive data was released, including that of town residents. RELATED Freeport municipal offices disrupted by cyberattack Joseph said the attack has been reported to the Maine State Police Computer Crimes Unit, but no one had contacted him yet to investigate the incident. Exactly who was behind the attack is unclear, Joseph said, but it is believed to be a criminal operation based in Russia or a neighboring republic. Bleeping Computer, a tech news website, reported Friday that Avaddon had shut down its ransomware, likely because of increasing pressure by police agencies and governments worldwide, as well as President Biden’s plan to discuss cyberattacks with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Geneva on Wednesday. Advertisement Freeport’s cyberattack is the latest on a municipal computer network in Maine and one of a growing number of similar incidents. The Presque Isle Police Department was hit by an Avaddon ransomware attack that came to light in April, when the town refused to pay a ransom and hackers dumped 200 gigabytes of data on the dark web. And when the Rockport Town Office was hit in 2018, municipal officials also didn’t pay a ransom and IT staff worked throughout the weekend to restore encrypted data. While larger malware incidents like the recent Colonial Pipeline hack get a lot of attention, attacks on smaller targets wreak havoc, too, and many don’t make it into the news. The FBI receives two to three reports each week of ransomware attacks in Maine, The Associated Press reported. Joseph said the town had security systems to detect the cyberattack and the municipal network was not disabled by the attack. Freeport town offices remained open as usual during the phone and internet outage, but it made many basic municipal functions inconvenient or impossible, such as paying property taxes with a credit card or using the computerized book catalog at the public library. Residents were still able to call for emergency assistance from Freeport’s police and fire departments by dialing 911 because the neighboring town of Brunswick has dispatched emergency services for Freeport for several years.; |

"If you do not comply with our terms, your data will be published in the public domain. We will continue to download your data until you contact us," they added in surprisingly good English. According to its website, ADIF, the Administrator of Railway Infrastructure, is a state-owned company that answers to the Transport Ministry.

But on the way home, she stopped off to visit an ill friend for 10 minutes, leaving the laptop on the front seat of her locked car. In that short timeframe, someone smashed the window of the car and stole the laptop. The theft was reported to the organization on January 9. UHCS reported the theft to the police and even hired a private detective to try to recover it. As of today, however, the laptop has not been recovered. Frustratingly for everyone, that laptop had password protection but no encryption as it was one of the last remaining laptops scheduled to be updated to add encryption. It took the agency time to compile exactly what information was on the laptop, but using a roaming profile, they were able to determine that data on clients going back to 2002 were on the device. For some clients, the information may have been just a name and address, while for others it may have been name and date of birth, or name and Social Security number. According to the spokesperson, there were very few diagnostic codes or treatment service codes on the laptop. All told, records on 1,318 United Home Care Services of Southwest Florida clients and 12,299 clients of United HomeCare Services, Inc. were on the stolen laptop The 13,617 affected clients were sent a notification letter in February in compliance with Florida’s privacy rule that requires notification within 45 days.

Essentially, our systems have been illegally hacked into by outside intruders. Beginning at least as early as June 30, 2015, we believe Accuform Signs order information was improperly accessed from our website and/or the website of [DISTRIBUTOR NAME] (with whom we are working closely in order to provide you this joint notification with important information to better protect you). This order information may have included your name, address, email, phone and credit card information. As a result, this information may have been potentially exposed to others. Please be assured that we are taking appropriate steps necessary to address the incident, and that we are committed to protecting the information that you have entrusted to us. We have retained the services of an experienced cyber security and forensic investigative firm to fully investigate the incident, and we have reported the matter to federal law enforcement authorities, including the Electronic Crimes Task Force of the United States Secret Service. Because the breach occurred very recently, the investigations are still ongoing. However, we do know that one or more parties operating through foreign countries illegally accessed our computer network and exfiltrated copies of orders, a portion of which contained purchaser's names, credit card numbers and other related information. We have no information to indicate that any card has yet incurred any unauthorized charges. To better protect you and your information, we have taken immediate steps to further secure all data, including instituting changes in the ways purchase information is processed. Since discovering the breach, Accuform Signs has taken immediate action to identify and block access points, increase tracking and monitoring of activity, further restrict and remove sensitive data, increase anti-virus protection of servers, implement an advanced 2-factor password security system, and require secondary authorization to view credit cards. For nearly 40 years, all of us at Accuform Signs have been dedicated to manufacturing products that inform, protect, and motivate. We are committed to addressing this incident with the same dedication. We are offended by this cyber-attack on your business and our own and regret any inconvenience this incident may have caused you.; |

When they eventually had time to look at the data, they found that were were more than 300,000 records with personal and sensitive information in the exposed bucket. The researcher then contacted this site to share their findings. Beginning on June 10, DataBreaches.net attempted to notify 1to1Help.net of the exposure so that they could secure their database. Emails sent to the site on June 10 and June 11 received no reply and by June 18, the bucket was still unsecured. An India-based cybersecurity firm that has assisted this site in the past in making notifications in India, BanBreach, also attempted to reach out to the firm, but did not reach anyone. After yet another week went by with no response from 1to1Help.net and finding that the bucket was still not secured, DataBreaches.net decided to start contacting some of 1to1Help’s larger corporate clients, hoping that if their clients called them to say, “Hey, our data is exposed,” they’d get action. On June 26, I spoke with a top privacy official for the U.S. headquarters of one of the multinational firms affected by the 1to1Help leak and explained the situation to her. I also started reaching out via email to other large corporate clients of 1to1Help.net. Two of the firms were immediately responsive and indicated that they were reaching out to 1to1Help.net On July 14, I finally got a response from Anil Bisht, the Director of 1to1Help.net.; |

The first target of this operation is the website of the United States Sentencing Commission (ussc.gov), which the hackers defaced to display their message of protest against the US government and the justice system. Two weeks ago today, a line was crossed. Two weeks ago today, Aaron Swartz was killed. Killed because he faced an impossible choice. Killed because he was forced into playing a game he could not win -- a twisted and distorted perversion of justice -- a game where the only winning move was not to play, the hackers stated. Anonymous immediately convened an emergency council to discuss our response to this tragedy. After much heavy-hearted discussion, the decision was upheld to engage the United States Department of Justice and its associated executive branches in a game of a similar nature, a game in which the only winning move is not to play, they added. The hacktivists admitted that the FBI had managed to infiltrate certain elements of Anonymous last year. They say that these infiltrations have resulted in disproportionate prosecutions. However, now theyre determined to show the FBI that it hasn't managed to cripple their infrastructure and demoralize them. They claim to have infiltrated several government-owned websites and obtained valuable information, including the details of a number of warheads. As part of this first phase of OpLastResort, the hackers have published some details of one warhead which is allegedly primed and armed. We have not taken this action lightly, nor without consideration of the possible consequences. Should we be forced to reveal the trigger-key to this warhead, we understand that there will be collateral damage, Anonymous threatened. We appreciate that many who work within the justice system believe in those principles that it has lost, corrupted, or abandoned, that they do not bear the full responsibility for the damages caused by their occupation. It is our hope that this warhead need never be detonated. Currently, the website of the USSC still displays the hacktivists' protest message.; |

See Also: Rethinking Endpoint Security The breach, which Penn Station says it's still investigating, is connected to a point-of-sale processing hack that may have exposed credit and debit details, but not PINs, at restaurants in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. On its list of frequently asked questions, the chain says the exposure was limited to cardholder names and card numbers because Penn Station only accepts signature-based transactions. But details surrounding exactly what happened remain sketchy. "We did not learn of the possibility of unauthorized access until late April," the company says in its updated FAQ. "Our first step after learning such information was to change the method for processing credit and debit card transactions. We then hired forensic experts who began working in May to help us determine if unauthorized access did occur and what, if any, customer information may have been accessed or taken." Penn Station says its investigation into the breach, which is being overseen by its processor, Heartland Payment Systems, and the Secret Service, is ongoing and that results, to date, have been inconclusive. "The key is to work with the Secret Service and get down to the bottom of what happened," said Penn Station President Craig Dunaway, shortly after the breach was made public June 1. The restaurant chain initially reported that only 43 of its 238 U.S. restaurants had been hit. Penn Station also said the compromise likely dated back to March, and that debit and credit cards used in March and April at the affected locations were likely exposed. The investigation is being handled by the Secret Service based in Cincinnati. Law enforcement is not yet revealing details, but one investigator close to the case, who asked not to be named, expects the number of Penn Station locations affected by the breach to continue to grow. Cardholders Speak Out Dunaway told BankInfoSecurity that Penn Station learned of the breach from a customer. The patron connected the dots after swapping stories with others who had suffered fraud following dining at a local Penn Station restaurant. Card issuers have not yet been outspoken about suspected fraud linked to Penn Station, but consumers have. This week, two cardholders in Indiana contacted BankInfoSecurity to say they suspected their debit cards had been compromised at a Penn Station in Indianapolis. One reported fraudulent transactions appearing June 1 from various merchant locations in Virginia Beach, Va. The other reported fraudulent transactions stemming from attempted purchases in Dublin, Ireland. What Happened? Based on what Penn Station has revealed so far, industry experts suggest the breach could be linked to one or both of two possible scenarios - a processing hack, like the one that targeted 100 Subway locations between 2008 and May 2011, or a point-of-sale scheme, similar to the one discovered by the Michaels crafts store chain in May 2011. In the Michaels breach, card exposure was traced back to December 2010, more than five months before the breach was discovered. In all, 90 individual PIN pads at crafts stores in 20 states were compromised. Since discovery of the breach, Penn Station says its restaurants have changed the "method" they use for processing credit and debit transactions. That bit of information is telling, says Aite fraud analyst Shirley Inscoe. "The information shared stated that there was an unauthorized data breach, which makes you assume a hack," she says. "But it also states that there was unauthorized access at some restaurant sites. That makes me wonder if this was an organized ring with mules, planted as servers or cashiers, who were also using skimming devices in some of the restaurants." John Buzzard, who monitors card fraud for FICO's Card Alert Service, also says the breach sounds like it includes some sort of POS-device attack, but adds that it's really too early to tell. "It's possible that a simple default admin password was never changed for the POS system at the affected locations," allowing hackers to easily infiltrate the system, Buzzard says. Inscoe says it's likely fraud linked to the attack occurred before Penn Station discovered the breach. The scope of the incident is probably more widespread, and the attack mechanisms more diverse, than has yet been revealed, she says. "The comment that they have uncovered evidence that data was breached at some restaurants still leads me to believe this was fairly organized, and skimming may have been one component," she says. ; |

Between November 22, 2013 and December 3, 2013 our forensic investigators confirmed that this attack potentially exposed certain of your information to unauthorized access and acquisition. I say potentially because, to date, there is no evidence that any information was actually accessed or acquired as a result of this criminal invasion. However, the information potentially exposed may have included your name, contact information, medical or healthcare information, date of birth, credit card information, Social Security number and health insurance account number. Based upon our investigation, the period during which your information may have been exposed appears to have been between September 17, 2013 and November 8, 2013. Out of an abundance of caution, we want to make you aware of the attack and our efforts to help safeguard your information. Immediately upon learning of this criminal attack and the potential exposure of private patient information, the Center took action. Specifically, upon learning of the potential of this incident, we promptly took the following actions: (i) curtailed the intrusion; (ii) hired numerous experts, including two leading national forensic investigation firms, to help us investigate the situation and determine the individuals and information potentially affected; and (iii) began the process of notifying potentially affected individuals. In addition, we have notified law enforcement and are taking steps to further guard against this type of criminal attack in the future. As always, we recommend that you remain vigilant by reviewing your explanation of benefits for medical services and financial account statements, as well as free credit reports for unauthorized activity. From the moment we learned of the potential exposure, our primary concern has been ensuring that you are protected against risks related to this incident. Therefore, we have engaged Experian, one of the leading providers of credit monitoring products, to provide you with its ProtectMyID Alert membership, including credit monitoring, for one year at no cost to you. Enclosed with this letter is information regarding these services and instructions for enrollment, as well as an insert providing additional useful information regarding steps you can take to protect yourself against identity theft.

The potential exposure occurred when a laptop was stolen from an employee's car. The laptop stored emails that potentially contained PHI such as names, dates of birth, medical record numbers, diagnoses, payer information and admission dates. No patient social security numbers or bank account information was included in the emails. Upon learning PHI may have been present on the device, Oceans immediately took steps to identify the individuals with the potential to be impacted. Although the laptop was stolen April 9, 2015, only recently, during an unrelated systems review did Oceans learn the device contained PHI. In May 2015, Oceans validated that all portable devices and laptops have encryption technology active and in use. While there is no indication the personal information has been acquired or used, free identity protection resources are being provided to individuals who may have been impacted. Because it is possible the PHI contained on the laptops may have been improperly accessed, federal and state law requires Oceans to notify potentially affected patients of this incident. This notice in print media is being provided as notification to individuals for whom Oceans has out-of-date contact information and therefore cannot be notified via letter. If you believe you have been affected, you should review your credit reports for accounts or creditor inquiries that you do not recognize. ; |

The cards were issued for corporations to pay employees and for government agencies to issue tax refunds, unemployment compensation and other benefits. JPMorgan said on Wednesday it had detected that the web servers used by its site www.ucard.chase.com had been breached in the middle of September. It then fixed the issue and reported it to law enforcement. Bank spokesman Michael Fusco said that since the breach was discovered, the bank has been trying to find out exactly which accounts were involved and what information may have been compromised. He declined to discuss how the attackers breached the bank's network. Fusco said the bank was notifying the cardholders, who account for about 2 percent of its roughly 25 million UCard users, about the breach because it couldn't rule out the possibility that their personal information was among the data removed from its servers. The bank typically keeps the personal information of its customers encrypted, or scrambled, as a security precaution. However, during the course of the breach, personal data belonging to those customers had temporarily appeared in plain text in files the computers use to log activity. The bank believes "a small amount" of data was taken, but not critical personal information such as social security numbers, birth dates and email addresses. Cyber criminals covet such data because it can be used to open bank accounts, obtain credit cards and engage in identity theft. Many states require banks to notify customers if they believe there is any chance that such information may have been taken in a breach. The bank is also offering the cardholders a year of free credit-monitoring services. The warning only affects the bank's UCard users, not holders of debit cards, credit cards or prepaid Liquid cards. Fusco said the bank had not found that any funds were stolen as a result of the breach and that it had no evidence that other crimes have been committed. As a result, it was not issuing replacement cards. The spokesman declined to identify the government agencies and businesses whose customers it had warned about the breach. Officials from the states of Louisiana and Connecticut said the bank notified them this week that personal information of some of their citizens may have been exposed. Louisiana citizens included about 6,000 people who received cards with state income tax refunds, plus 5,300 receiving child support payments and 2,200 receiving unemployment benefits, according to a statement from state Commissioner of Administration Kristy Nichols on Wednesday. Nichols said Louisiana would "hold JP Morgan Chase responsible" for protecting the rights and personal privacy of the citizens. Connecticut Treasurer Denise Nappier said she was "dismayed" that the bank took two and a half months to notify the state of the problem. "JPMorgan Chase has some work to do, not only to assure the holders of its debit cards, but also to restore the state's confidence in the company's ability to remain worthy of our continued business," Nappier said in a statement on Thursday. The bank said it didn't know who was behind the attack, though the Secret Service and FBI were investigating the matter. Businesses and government agencies are increasingly using prepaid cards because they are easier to cash than paper checks. Yet the vast stores of data behind payment cards of all kinds have created new risks. In 2007, some 41 million credit and debit card numbers from major retailers, including the owner of T.J. Maxx stores, were stolen. In May of this year, U.S. prosecutors said a global cybercrime ring had stolen $45 million from banks by hacking into credit card processing firms and withdrawing money from automated teller machines in 27 countries.

According to the notification letter [PDF], Bright Horizons learned on January 8, 2014 that one of EasyDraft's internal Web sites was accessible online, and informed EasyDraft of the issue. The Web site in question was then shut down, and an investigation determined that the Web server storing the files had been misconfigured since October 8, 2012, "resulting in a lack of proper secure authentication requirements," according to EasyDraft.; |

He stated that he opened the file to see what it was and discovered it was medical records regarding another patient, Veteran B. He closed the file and notified the Community Care Center (CCC) who advised him to return the CD to them so they could get it to the Privacy Officer for corrective action. He stated he then printed the file that contained his medical records and returned the CD to the CCC. Upon receipt of the CD, the Privacy Officer reviewed the records and determined that it contained over 300 pages of records on Veteran B which included his full name, full SSN, date of birth, address, medications, labs, progress notes, and 7332-protected information (HIV testing). The HIMS Manager and HIMS Supervisor were contacted who reviewed the incident further and determined that the Release of Information Clerk had not checked to confirm only Veteran A's information was downloaded to the CD before releasing as required per established protocol. In addition, the Privacy Officer discussed the incident with the CCC who reported that Veteran A contacted ROI to report he had received Veteran B's records in error and was told to destroy them but Veteran A was not comfortable doing this so reported it to the CCC who advised he return it to them. Notification regarding the inappropriate disclosure from ROI to the Privacy Officer or the HIMS Supervisor did not occur indicating training needed for the ROI clerks for reporting privacy incidents. The HIMS Supervisor will be re-educating the ROI clerk on the proper procedure for release of records on CD and reporting of inappropriate disclosures resulting in privacy violations. She will also be discussing the incident further with Human Resources for disciplinary action as necessary due to previous similar errors that have recently occurred.; |
