Scripps Health notifies patients of data breach after ransomware attack

Scripps Health in San Diego has disclosed a data breach exposing patient information after suffering a ransomware attack last month. The healthcare provider has five hospitals and 19 outpost facilities with over 3,000 affiliate physicians. The attack caused the healthcare provider to suspend their IT systems, including public-facing portals, including MyScripps and scripps.org. For less than 2.5% of patients, Social Security numbers and drivers license numbers were also affected. None of the stolen data has been publicly released at this time.
