A healthcare provider in Kalispell, Montana has suffered an embarrassing data breach resulting in the leak of 129,000 health records, exposing patients to identity theft and fraud.
Kalispell Regional Healthcare learned of the breach in June, but an investigation suggests the phishers started collecting patient records as early as May 24. A notice sent to patients by the healthcare institution, obtained by local news outlet Flathead Beacon, reveals that the phishing attack was targeted and coordinated.
