“The clinic's IT system has been down since experiencing the May 21 ransomware attack, Desert Wells said in a Sept. 3 online notice to patients. After investigating the incident, the clinic discovered that the hacker who accessed its IT system corrupted its EHR data, making all records from before May 21 unrecoverable.”
-
“Desert Wells Family Medicine reported the breach to HHS on Aug. 30 as affecting 35,000 individuals. Patient information exposed by the incident included names, Social Security numbers, addresses, birthdates, billing account numbers, medical record numbers and treatment information.”
