Attorneys representing more than 1,500 women whose personal medical information was compromised when their records were blown from a dumpster on a windy day in May have reached a settlement agreement with the medical group responsible. In the settlement agreement, which still has to be approved by a judge in January, Midwest Womens Healthcare Specialists agree to set up a victims fund of $400,000 to compensate the estimated 1,532 women whose documents were improperly disposed of in a dumpster outside Research Medical Center . Midwest Womens Healthcare will also separately agree to pay for up to two years of credit monitoring for the affected women, and it will re-train its employees in the proper handling of sensitive documents. We are pleased to have reached an agreement that is satisfactory to all parties, a spokesperson for the group said in an emailed statement. As we said previously, we have taken steps to enhance the security of patient information. The spokesperson added there have been no reports of anyones personal information being compromised. Attorney Maureen Brady, who filed the class-action suit on behalf of victim Brittany Short back in June, said she, too was pleased with the proposed settlement. "Both sides worked very hard to get this resolved quickly, and to seek justice for all of those involved," Brady told 41 Action News. ;

The cardiac arrest leading to Joan Rivers' death happened as the comedian's personal doctor began performing a biopsy on her vocal cords, a source close to the death investigation told CNN. A staff member at Manhattan's Yorkville Endoscopy clinic told investigators that the doctor, who has not been publicly identified, took a selfie photo in the procedure room while Rivers was under anesthesia, the source said. Rivers, 81, was at the clinic for a scheduled endoscopy by another doctor, gastroenterologist Dr. Lawrence Cohen. That procedure, intended to help diagnose her hoarse voice and sore throat, involved the insertion of a camera down her throat. After Cohen, the clinic's medical director, finished his work, a biopsy was done on Rivers without her prior consent, according to the source. An ear, nose and throat specialist not certified by the clinic as required by law performed a biopsy on her vocal cords. The doctor is described by the source as Rivers' personal ear-nose-throat physician. Clinic: Vocal-cord biopsy did not kill Joan Rivers "Even though you are a licensed physician, you still should have, if you will, the checks and balances to get your approval to practice in that particular place," said Dr. Arthur Caplan, a medical ethicist at New York University's Langone Medical Center. Investigators believe that Rivers' vocal cords began to swell during the allegedly unauthorized biopsy, cutting off the flow of oxygen to her lungs, which led to cardiac arrest on the morning of August 29, the source said. Rivers, 81, was rushed by paramedics from Yorkville Endoscopy to New York's Mount Sinai Hospital a mile away, where she died a week later. Yorkville Endoscopy issued a statement last Thursday denying reports that any vocal cord biopsy has ever been done at the clinic, although federal privacy law prevented any patient information from being released. The day after the denial was issued, the clinic confirmed that Dr. Cohen "is not currently performing procedures... nor is he currently serving as medical director." The source said that at this time neither Cohen nor the ear, nose and throat doctor have been accused of wrongdoing by investigators. The clinic declined to respond to the source's comments about a biopsy or a selfie, citing federal privacy law.;

Veteran A contacted the Privacy Officer to report that he had received a CD from the Release of Information department with copies of his medical records and when reviewing the CD he found another file labeled with another patient's name. 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.;

No lives were lost in the huge fire that gutted a storage building on the Brooklyn waterfront over the weekend. But the flames put plenty of lives on display as the crumpling warehouse belched up its contents: decades’ worth of charred medical records, court transcripts, lawyers’ letters, sonograms, bank checks and more. “They’re like treasure maps, but with people’s personal information all over them,” Spencer Bergen, 24, said of the half-charred scraps that he said he had seen strewn around the Williamsburg neighborhood as far inland as Berry Street, several blocks from the warehouse.;

Based on Iron Mountains internal investigation conducted by members of its Global Security group, Iron Mountain believes some of the missing files were stolen through the actions of two individuals who were employees of Cornerstone Records Management, a company acquired by Iron Mountain. One of the two resigned in October 2013, when Iron Mountain acquired Cornerstone, and the second individuals employment was terminated by Iron Mountain in June 2014. Iron Mountain has determined that the vast majority of the missing storage records were x-ray files. As a result of this incident, Iron Mountain also conducted an audit of LBIMGs other records in storage, and determined that other records in storage with its predecessor, Cornerstone, were missing when Cornerstone vacated a storage facility in 2010. LBIMG has determined that some of these additional records included patient fee ticket records. Iron Mountain has notified us there is no information to indicate that the fee ticket records have been accessed or used by any unauthorized individual. We are monitoring Iron Mountains continuing investigation of this matter. Iron Mountain is working in conjunction with the Riverside Police Department to investigate this matter, and Iron Mountain has requested that the theft of X-rays be criminally prosecuted. We have not received any indication from the Riverside Police Department that any information has been accessed or used by any unauthorized individual. UPDATE: Rogue employees at Iron Mountain who victimized patients of Orthopaedic Specialty Institute Medical Group, Long Beach Internal Medical Group, and The Hand Care Center / Shoulder and Elbow Institute also victimized 2,691 patients of Riverside Medical Clinic. The total has been updated to reflect this change.;

Japanese automaker Honda has put some 2.2 million customers in the United States on a security breach alert after a database containing information on the owners and their cars was hacked, according to reports. The compromised list contained names, login names, e-mail addresses and 17-character Vehicle Identification Number--an automotive industry standard--which was used to send welcome e-mail messages to customers that had registered for an Owner Link account. Another 2.7 million My Acura account users were also affected by the breach, but Honda said the list contained only e-mail addresses. Acura is the company's luxury vehicle brand. According to Honda's notification e-mail to affected customers, the list was managed by a vendor. All Things Digital suggested, but could not confirm, that the vendor in question is e-mail marketing firm Silverpop Systems, which has been linked with the recent hacking incidents including that of fast-food giant McDonald's. In a Web page addressing affected customers, Honda said it would be "difficult" for a victim's identity to be stolen based on the information that had been leaked. However, it has warned that customers ought to be wary of unsolicited e-mail messages requesting for personal information such as social security or credit card numbers. Compelling scams an 'obvious danger' Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, pointed out that cybercriminals who possess the list may e-mail the car owners to trick them into clicking on malicious attachments or links, or fool them into handing over personal information. "If the hackers were able to present themselves as Honda, and reassured you that they were genuine by quoting your Vehicle Identification Number, then as a Honda customer you might very likely click on a link or open an attachment," he explained in a blog post. Acura customers, he added, could also be on the receiving end of spam campaigns. Cluley noted that the incident serves as a reminder that companies not only need to have adequate measures in place to protect customer data in their hands, they also need their partners and third-party vendors to "follow equally stringent best practices". "It may not be your company [that] is directly hacked, but it can still be your customers' data that ends up exposed, and your brand name that is tarnished," he said. ;

CHEMED also posted notice of the incident on its website at https://www.chemedhealth.org/images/website-notice.pdf. CHEMED uses a third-party Radiology imaging system (Konica) to send and store its studies to Radiologists to read. On December 10, 2019, CHEMED was notified that many Radiology providers across the Country had possibly been vulnerable to a potential opening which could allow unauthorized access to patient information. Working with outside computer forensics specialists, CHEMED commenced an investigation to determine the full extent of the issue. On February 20, 2020, the investigation determined that the vulnerability existed between July 28, 2015 and December 10, 2019. Although there were attempted unauthorized connections to the server from the public internet during that time period, CHEMED was unable to determine whether those connections were successful and specific patient records were actually subject to unauthorized access. CHEMED is therefore providing impacted patients with notice of this incident in an abundance of caution. The following types of patient information were determined to be at risk for possible unauthorized access: patient name, procedure date, patient date of birth, patient ID, exam ID, physician's name, and medical organization name (CHEMED).;

On the eve of releasing its financial earnings for the past quarter, Honda created a situation described by one security researcher as “a hacker’s dream”. According to Verdict, 40GB of critical company data – amounting to 134m rows of system data – was stored on an unsecured Elasticsearch database. This meant that anyone who knew where to look could have come across the company’s most sensitive data, not only including information about the company’s security systems and networks, but also technical data on all of its IP addresses, operating systems and what patches they had.;

Police have launched an investigation after an abandoned autopsy laboratory containing mummified baby remains was discovered in a park. As the student Georgy Grigorchuk wandered around the building he also found an empty morgue and documents outlining the medical histories and post-mortem procedures of all the patients, including family names and personal details. It is known that the premises were abandoned when the pathology facility was moved to a new building at the region's hospital, but it is of concern that so much was left behind. ;

Maplesoft is investigating a security breach of its administrative database that took place on July 17th, 2012. As a result of the breach, the perpetrators gained access to some email subscription data, including email addresses, first and last names, and company and institution names. Any financial information held by Maplesoft remains secure, and has not been affected by this security breach. The perpetrators appear to be using email addresses they have taken from the database to spread viruses or malware. The perpetrators are posing as Maplesoft in an attempt to have individuals they email click on a link or download a malicious piece of software. Recipients should not respond to these emails and they should not open any attachments or click on any download links. These emails should be deleted immediately. Maplesoft discovered the security breach after some of Maplesofts customers received what appeared to be a spam email. Notification of the spam email was then immediately posted on the Maplesoft website. Upon investigation by Maplesofts IT staff, the security breach was discovered and Maplesoft took immediate corrective actions to stop the breach and prevent further unauthorized access to Maplesofts databases. All of the individuals affected by the security breach have been alerted by Maplesoft directly. Maplesoft takes the security of our customers and contacts personal information very seriously. We are in the process of notifying all individuals whose information may have been compromised, said Jim Cooper, CEO of Maplesoft. We have locked down our systems to prevent further unauthorized access and we are reviewing our security practices and procedures to help ensure this does not happen again. We deeply regret any inconvenience or concerns that this situation may cause our contacts and customers, added Cooper. ;

Potentially sensitive information about doctors has been added to the raft of email privacy blunders many from government departments during the past year. The Medical Council has apologised to about 2900 doctors after an attachment containing their payment information to the council was mistakenly emailed to a single doctor. The information could reportedly identify if doctors were paying more than their $733 yearly registration, which could mean money for disciplinary procedures or further training. The email was sent out in May last year when the wrong details were entered into the email fields. In a letter to the affected doctors, chief executive Philip Pigou said the council had made changes to its email system to prevent it happening again. The Minster of Health, who the independent council reports to, and Privacy Commissioner had been informed, he said. The Ministry of Education on Saturday admitted it had emailed private information to the wrong person. This followed privacy leaks and breaches at the Earthquake Commission, ACC, Ministry of Social Development and Inland Revenue. ;

WASHINGTON -- A data broker operation sold payday loan applicants' financial information to scammers, who took in millions of dollars by debiting bank accounts and charging credit cards without authorization, the Federal Trade Commission charged Wednesday. The data brokers bought "hundreds of thousands of consumer payday loan applications" and, instead of passing them to legitimate payday lenders, sold them to non-lending third parties, the FTC charged in a complaint. Among the companies, was Ideal Financial Solutions Inc., which bought 500,000 applications and raided the accounts for at least $7.1 million, the FTC said. "These non-lender third parties included phony Internet merchants, such as Ideal Financial, that used consumers' sensitive information to commit fraud by debiting consumers' bank accounts for purported financial products that the consumers never purchased," the complaint said. The FTC is seeking a permanent injunction against the defendants -- Sequoia One of Wyoming, Gen X Marketing of Florida and individuals associated with the companies, Jason A. Kotzker, Theresa D. Bartholomew, John E. Bartholomew Jr., and Paul T. McDonnell -- and the return of ill-gotten gains. In a statement, Jessica Rich, director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection, said that data brokers that act unethically are as culpable as the scammers themselves.;
