What is the Chattanooga Heart Institute Data Breach About?

The Chattanooga Heart Institute recently began notifying individuals of a security breach to their computer system which exposed the sensitive information of 170,450 individuals. The information accessed by hackers may include the following personally sensitive and identifiable information:

• Full Names,
• Social Security number,
• Financial Account Information,
• Driver's license number,
• Personal Signatures,
• Insurance Information,
• Confidential Medical History,
• Protected Health insurance information,
• Date of Birth.

Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. The theft of sensitive, protected health information, and personally identifiable information can lead to a plethora of problems for individuals who are the victims of data breaches that occurred in databases they were not even aware of. Typically, the individual that may have been hacked includes sensitive and personally identifiable information.

Data breaches can also result in a long-term erosion of personal data privacy, as the hacked personally identifiable information may be traded or shared amongst cyber-criminals for years to come, on the internet, the dark web, or elsewhere.. This significantly increases the risk of further identity theft, financial fraud and massive headaches for consumers and victims.
