Wyo Health Department Data Breach Leads to Fraudulent Calls Across State – Sheridan Media

By Ellen Fike, Cowboy State Daily
The Wyoming Department of Health is warning residents about fraudulent calls from people falsely claiming to represent the department in connection to a recently announced health information breach.
WDH recently announced a mistaken exposure of laboratory test result data involving more than 164,000 Wyoming residents and others including hundreds from Colorado. The incident involved coronavirus and influenza test result data and breath alcohol test result files mistakenly uploaded by an employee to private and public online storage locations on servers belonging to GitHub.com.
Jeri Hendricks, Office of Privacy, Security and Contracts administrator with WDH, said the department is hearing reports of Wyoming residents receiving fraudulent calls from people claiming to represent the department in connection with the breach.
