What is the UI Community HomeCare Data Breach?
UI Community HomeCare is part of the University of Iowa Health System. On May 24, 2023, UI Community HomeCare announced that an unauthorized breach of their network had occurred on March 23, 2023, in which the personal information of 67,897 individuals stored there was exposed. UI Community HomeCare published a news release about their data breach. The sensitive data exposed includes the following personally identifiable information:• Patients' names
• Home addresses,
• Personal phone numbers,
• Protected health information,
• Potential medical records,
• Other PII (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 via other bad-actor means. 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.
