North Mississippi Health Services

After an employee mistakenly clicked a phishing email, North Mississippi Health Services was able to quickly detect and stop the attack. They later identified unauthorised access to the employee's email account.

The compromised information includes patients’ names, dates of birth, primary physicians’ names, and diagnoses or dispositions upon recent discharge from North Mississippi Medical Center-Tupelo.

No indication of misuse, according to NMHS, and they are alerting all impacted patients and regulatory bodies.
