New York Attorney General Letitia James secured $550,000 from HealthAlliance after it failed to protect the personal and medical data of over 240,000 New Yorkers due to a cyber-attack. The breach occurred after the healthcare facility did not address a known system vulnerability highlighted by a vendor, leading to compromised patient data. HealthAlliance faced penalties and was mandated to improve its data security practices.
