What is the Maimonides Medical Center Cyberattack About?
Maimonides Medical Center is the largest hospital in Brooklyn, New York and serves over 300,000 patients a year across a range of specialties. On June 1, 2023, Maimonides Medical Center began sending out data breach notice letters, advising individuals that their information had been exposed in an attack on the hospital's computer network. The type of information exposed includes:• Names,
• Addresses,
• Medical Information,
• Social Security Numbers.
Maimonides reported that the above sensitive protected health information of nearly 33,000 patients may have been accessed by an unauthorized entity or individual. This was discovered initially on April 4, 2023. After conducting a forensic investigation, Maimonides determined that the data breach had initially occurred on March 18, 2023.
Cyber attacks have targeted individuals, businesses, hospitals, and even government institutions, causing financial losses, disruption of services, and significant headaches for victims. The cat-and-mouse game between cyber-criminals and cybersecurity experts continues as they battle to protect the digital world from these digital hostage-takers.

These data breaches include events that impacted at least 500 people and which reportedly impacted consumers' protected health information, or "PHI" for short, of those individuals. The U.S. government is required to update this list of medical information-related data breaches regularly.
