So according to this reading and me being from Boston I remember
this happening, but nothing was taken but that does not mean
something happened to cause a breach now this happened back in
2016 so back then security was good but even today security has
gotten better but nothing is ever fool proof. There are so many ways
to help prevent breaches such as locking PC's and terminals down to
any sort of thumb drives this will prevent anyone internal trying to
gather information. Dual authorization steps for patients signing into
their information is another way.
When people hear or get notified about any sort of breach or hack,
they start to develop a bad taste of security trust with the healthcare
providers which in turn can cause health care providers to lose not
just their reputation but patients as well.
People hate passwords in today's society but if healthcare providers
need to be really diligent in protecting people's information, then
they will have to learn to get over it. This is just my thought on
making any organization a success.
Any sort of breach nowadays results in internal investigation but as
hackers get more sophisticated with ransomware this would now
involve the FBI along with OSHA and hospital security with any sort
of breach this will also involve state and local authorities as well. This
is all very ethical.
