May 28 (UPI) -- A University of Chicago Medicine Medical group cybersecurity breach in July may have exposed personal information of 38,000 patients.
The exposed data includes names, Social Security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, medical information and financial account information.
Third-party debt collection vendor Nationwide Recovery Systems notified UChicago Medicine on April 8 that the data breach occurred in July 2024.
A UChicago Medicine statement said, "From July 5, 2024, to July 11, 2024, an unauthorized individual gained access to NRS systems and obtained information from certain files and folders. Upon learning of this, NRS took steps to terminate the unauthorized access and make enhancements to further secure their systems."
