Nebraska Medicine is warning that a rogue, former employee accessed patients medical records, Social Security numbers and more. The healthcare provider is offering free credit monitoring for a year for patients whose records were accessed. Healthcare data breaches soared 44 percent month-over-month in October, with 661,830 healthcare records being exposed or stolen during the month. In August, California-based Wood Ranch Medical announced that it was shuttering operations after the provider was unable to recover patient records on the heels of a ransomware attack.
