HealthAlliance

HealthAlliance, a healthcare facility operator in Hudson Valley, has been penalized $550,000 by the New York State Attorney General for failing to secure the personal and medical data of over 240,000 patients. A vendor-notified vulnerability was left unpatched due to technical issues, resulting in a cyber-attack that compromised patient data. HealthAlliance is now required to fortify its data security measures to prevent future lapses.
