The incident, discovered recently by Signature Performance, resulted in unauthorized access to certain files on their network, affecting more than 70,000 patients. Each patient will receive a personalized letter from Signature Performance detailing the impact on their information.
While Adventist Health has made the full statement available on their website, it’s not prominently linked, potentially leaving patients unaware of the breach.
