UW Health suffered from a data breach incident after an employee's email account was used by an unauthorized user that exposed 2,036 patients information.

The compromised information includes patients’ names; addresses; dates of birth; dates of service; providers’ names; reason for visit; medical history and conditions, medications; diagnostic results and/or social history.

They said medical records, Social Security numbers, credit card numbers, health insurance numbers, or other financial information were not exposed.

UW Health immediately took action and disabled the account and password.
