A Connecticut-based healthcare provider has confirmed that a hacker was able to access the sensitive data of more than a million patients.
Newsweek has contacted Community Health Center (CHC) and Joseph V. DeMarco, Partner at DeMarco Law PLLC who filed the data breach notification, via email for comment.
Connecticut healthcare provider CHC, which provides services to more than 145,000 Connecticut residents, confirmed in a letter to patients that on January 2 they noticed “unusual activity in our computer systems.”
A filing of the data breach shared with the office of Maine’s Attorney General revealed that the attack was believed to have happened months before on October 14, 2024.
The filling also specifies that 1,060,936 people have been affected by the data breach.
