Malware incident at Partners HealthCare exposed 2,600 patients’ personal data. The incident was first detected in May 2017 but only recently determined to be a reportable breach. Experts say it took seven months to confirm a data breach through a forensics investigation. Breach notification takes time to do it right, expert Rebecca Herold says. For some patients, Social Security numbers and financial account data may have been exposed, but Partners says it’s not aware of any misuse of patients’ health information.”]
