A single breach accounted for over 10 million of these records. “This breach has been linked back to 61 of their healthcare customers, with the number of exposed records expected to increase as more of these impacted customers disclose their numbers,” researchers said.
Of all the health care breaches disclosed between January 2020 and February 2021, 93% of them included confirmed record exposure. Researchers admitted that one obstacle with accurately tracking breaches is that public disclosures can occur days, months, or even years after the event. Even then, the level of detail available may be scant.
