Computer Breach at Ohio Children's Hospital
Vic Gideon writes on WKTC.com:
Overseas hackers have apparently accessed two computers at Children's hospital, one containing private patient data, the other billing and bank information.More here.
The hospital is preparing to send out more than 200,000 letters informing patients of the breach. It's also given the F.B.I. information for the investigation.
The hackers apparently were from Germany and used computer loops through France, Turkey, and Canada, eventually landing data from Akron.
"It's absolutely terrifying in this day and age where information is power," says patient Jennifer Ferrick. "Privacy is of the utmost importance in the medical field."
