Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers Security Incident

Maxey Law Firm is investigating Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers, which recently sent a Notice of Security Incident to impacted individuals. The notice states that the Security Incident arose when there were exports of data to an external cloud storage platform by an unauthorized party and that these exports contained files with information about current and former employees and their dependents or beneficiaries, as well as current and former patients of Morris Hospital.

Morris Hospital reported that the Security Incident affected 248,943 individuals.

For each of these 248,943 individuals, the information involved may have included their name, address, Social Security number, medical record numbers and account numbers, diagnostic codes (numeric codes used to identify diagnoses and treatments), and date of birth.

The notice does not state whether or not the Social Security numbers and other sensitive information were encrypted and, if not, why they were not encrypted.
