Health tech company CareCloud has begun notifying hundreds of thousands of individuals after hackers gained access to a store of protected health data. The breach impacts a significant amount of patient medical records.
CareCloud, described as a “health tech data giant,” confirmed that it was the target of a cyberattack affecting one of its protected health data stores. While the exact number of affected individuals wasn’t specified beyond “hundreds of thousands,” the company is in the process of notifying those whose information may have been compromised.
The source did not provide details on how the breach occurred, nor what specific types of medical records were stolen. It also did not state when the hack took place, only that CareCloud has begun the notification process. The company’s statement indicates they are responding to a completed incident—the hackers “struck” meaning the attack already happened.
