Data breach at Verity Health could have affected 10,000 patients
The personal information of more than 10,000 patients of Verity Health may have been compromised after the website of the Redwood City health system was hacked.
The information included patient names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, medical record numbers and the last four digits of credit card numbers, dated between 2010 and 2014, Verity said.
On Jan. 6, company officials detected an unauthorized breach on the Verity Medical Foundation-San Jose Medical Group website, which has since been shut down.
Verity Health System takes the security of our patients’ information seriously, and we regret that this incident occurred,
The health system was known as Daughters of Charity before it was taken over by investment firm BlueMountain Capital Management in 2016.
