Malware incident at Partners HealthCare exposed patient data on 2,600 patients. The incident was first detected in May 2017 but was only recently determined to have exposed data. Experts say the seven-month delay between the malware incident and determining a reportable breach involving patient data is not uncommon in forensics investigations.
