St. Anthony Hospital in Chicago disclosed Wednesday that a February data breach may have exposed personal information of more than 6,600 patients and staff members. An unauthorized party accessed employee email accounts, potentially compromising names, addresses, Social Security numbers, medical records, and prescription information.
The hospital says there's no evidence the data has been misused for identity theft or fraud. Officials are notifying affected individuals and recommend placing fraud alerts on credit files and monitoring financial accounts. A dedicated hotline (877-580-4384) is available weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for questions about the incident.
