What is the Tift Regional Health System, Inc. Data Breach About?
Did You Receive A Letter From Southwell About Tift Regional Health System, Inc.'s Data Breach? Tift Regional Health System, Inc. (“Tift”) is the main hospital headquarters for Southwell Hospital based in Tifton, Georgia. On August 11, 2023, Tift reportedly sent out letters to 180,142 patients to inform them that their personal identifying data had been exposed in a data breach. In an external system breach to the hospital computer network, the following patient personally identifiable information may have been accessed by malicious hackers:• Patients' Names,
• Social Security Numbers.
The identity is unknown at this time of the malicious third party actors that stole consumer information in the data breach. The information accessed may vary from individual to individual, and may include more than just names and Social Security numbers.
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.
You can find a curated list of data breaches published by the United States Department of Health and Human Services. These data breaches include events that impacted at least 500 people, and were reported, which impacted protected health information of those individuals. The U.S. government is required, by law, to update this list of medical information-related data breaches.
