From DataBreachToday:
Beth Israel Deaconess Fined for Breach
John Halamka, CIO of Beth Israel Deaconess, said in a statement to Information Security Media Group: "Every device managed by BIDMC is encrypted today. Every employee has already been trained and attested to the encryption of their personal device. The value of this incident is that it created awareness in the community and led to a significant acceleration in security implementation and training efforts."
I've blogged about this previously. Healthcare providers, from large hospitals to small physicians offices, are being actively targeted by hackers. PHI is incredibly valuable on the cyber black market. Take cybersecurity seriously to mitigate the chances of this happening to your organization.
