Ransomware attack wipes out Arizona clinic's EHR, corrupts 35,000 patients' records

“• “ Queen Creek, Ariz.-based Desert Wells Family Medicine recently began notifying 35,000 patients that their EHR data was compromised by a ransomware attack.” • “The clinic's IT system has been down since experiencing the May 21 ransomware attack, Desert Wells said in a Sept. 3 online notice to patients. After investigating the incident, the clinic discovered that the hacker who accessed its IT system corrupted its EHR data, making all records from before May 21 unrecoverable.” • “Desert Wells Family Medicine reported the breach to HHS on Aug. 30 as affecting 35,000 individuals. Patient information exposed by the incident included names, Social Security numbers, addresses, birthdates, billing account numbers, medical record numbers and treatment information.” • “Desert Wells said there is no evidence that any of the exposed information has been misused and that it is rebuilding patients' health records in a new EHR system. The clinic is compiling patients' data from other sources, including previous providers, hospitals, pharmacies, labs and imaging centers.” “
