Casper Orthopedic and Atlantic Digestive Specialists Report Data Breaches

Original: Casper Orthopedic Associates; Atlantic Digestive Specialists Announce Data Breaches

Two US healthcare providers, Casper Orthopedic Associates in Wyoming and Atlantic Digestive Specialists, have announced data breaches affecting patient information. The incidents were reported by HIPAA Journal, which tracks breaches involving protected health information. Patients at both organisations may face risks such as identity theft, and the disclosures add to a steady stream of cybersecurity incidents hitting medical practices, which are frequent targets for hackers seeking sensitive health and insurance data.

Why now: Healthcare data breaches alarm patients and regulators because exposed medical records carry serious identity theft risks.
