“November 18, 2022 - NewYork-Presbyterian (NYP) Hospital notified approximately 12,000 patients of a breach that occurred in September 2022. The hospital received an alert of suspicious server activity on September 8, its notice to patients explained. NYP was able to block an unauthorized user’s attempts to download information. However, further investigation revealed that the third-party had “used a cloud-based, remote information technology customer support program to gain access to the laptops of several of its workforce members, copying and removing desktop files from some of the devices,” NYP explained.“
“The information involved in the incident included names, insurance authorizations, addresses, medical records, and exam results. “NYP is committed to protecting the privacy and security of its patients’ health information and has taken steps to prevent a similar incident from happening in the future,” the notice continued. “Accounts used for the technical assistance program were immediately suspended and the service was terminated without further incident. NYP confirmed there was no unauthorized access to NYP’s electronic medical records patient portal and none of its other data has been compromised.”“
