“Wolfe Clinic, P.C in Iowa has recently confirmed that it was affected by the data breach at the electronic medical record provider, Eye Care Leaders. The attack exposed the protected health information of 542,776 current and former Wolfe Clinic patients.“
“Wolfe Clinic used the myCare Integrity medical records platform, which was accessed by an unauthorized party on or around December 4, 2021, who deleted databases and system configuration files. A forensic investigation of the security incident was conducted but the deletion of files meant there was a lack of forensic evidence, so it was not possible to determine whether the PHI of Wolfe Clinic patients was accessed or acquired in the attack. Wolfe Clinic said names, addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers, diagnostic information, and health insurance information were potentially compromised.“
“At the time of issuing notifications, Wolfe Clinic had not received any reports of identity theft and fraud related to the Eye Care Leaders data breach. Affected individuals have been offered 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services. The Eye Care Leaders data breach is known to have affected at least 40 eye care providers and resulted in the exposure of the PHI of at least 3.6 million patients.“
