A data breach at St. Anthony Hospital could have exposed the personal information of patients, staff and others, according to hospital officials.
In February, the hospital learned a “small number” of employee accounts had been accessed by an “unauthorized actor,” launching an investigation with an outside cyber security firm.
The hospital, located at 2875 W. 19th St., said they have yet to be notified of anyone impacted but would contact anyone whose personal information was compromised. The data potentially at risk could include personal information, such as names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, patient account numbers, prescription information, and an individual’s medical history.
“To date, we have no evidence of any data misuse stemming from this incident, nor any reports of identity theft or fraud,” the hospital said in a statement. “As a team of caring and dedicated healthcare professionals, we deeply value the trust placed in us to protect personal information. We are unwavering in our commitment to privacy and security, and we acted swiftly upon discovery to safeguard the data in our care.”
St. Anthony encouraged patients to place fraud alerts or security freezes on their credit files and “remain vigilant in reviewing financial account statements and credit reports for fraudulent or irregular activity on a regular basis.”
Those with questions about the breach can call 877-580-4384 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
