AZ healthcare system reports exposure of employee information

Data security breach reported after a break-in


Employees at an Arizona-based healthcare system are being notified of a possible data security event after a break-in, according to an article on the Healthcare IT Security website.

Mountain Park Health Center reported that employees may have had their personnel files exposed when burglars gained access to an office on March 22. 

The unauthorized parties were able to open locked file cabinets and go through the documents in the drawers.

To prevent future data security incidents, the healthcare system has re-keyed all doors and cabinets and researched additional security systems.
