The first-ever Verizon Protected Health Information Data Breach Report covers 1,900 breaches. 392 million records were exposed, amounting to half the U.S. population. Not all “PHI” in this report contains medical records; it might be credit card data scraped from a PoS system at a dentist’s office or LAN login credentials at a hospital. The vast majority of breaches came from hospitals and from “ambulatory healthcare services,” which includes physician’s offices, diagnostic labs, and other outpatient care centers.”]
