6 Questions About the Partners Breach
The number of online attacks that result in the theft of personal health information continues to rise.
The latest organization to disclose such a breach is Boston-based Partners HealthCare System (see Partners HealthCare Reports Breach).
On April 30, the integrated health delivery network - which operates several hospitals, including Massachusetts General - said in a statement that "a group of Partners HealthCare workforce members" received - and responded - to phishing emails, resulting in the exposure of about 3,300 patients' Social Security numbers and clinical details, amongst other information.
