Montefiore Health System

Montefiore Health System

Montefiore Medical Center experienced a security breach.

A former employee had recently stolen personal information from roughly 4,000 patient records, which led Montefiore to terminate the employee upon learning of the security breach and potential identity theft.

Addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers were compromised over a period of more than two years, from January 2017 to July of that year.
