This is a list of 28 Health Data breaches that occurred over the past six months, posted by Sabrina Rodak and appearing on Becker's Hospital Review website.
Breaches listed range from exposing data belonging to as few as 13 people, to as many as 2,000,000.
Some examples of larger breaches included:
"Southern California Medical-Legal Consultants, which represents physicians and hospitals seeking payment from patients receiving workers' compensation, unknowingly had medical files for nearly 300,000 Californians unsecured on the Internet. The records included insurance forms, Social Security number and physicians' notes.; and
A Health Net data breach in January may have affected more people than initially thought: Health Net originally said the data breach affected 2 million nationwide, including 124,000 in Oregon. Now, however, Health Net has found that 6,300 more people in Oregon were affected."
