Penobscot Community Health Care suffers data breach.
A health care provider
in Maine is warning patients of a potential data breach. The Bangor
Daily News reports that a Penobscot Community Health Care spokesman says
a third-party collection agency may have exposed
the personal and credit card information of some patients. The provider
has a contract with American Medical Collection Agency, which reported
an unauthorized person may have accessed its systems between August and
March. The agency collected on overdue patient
bills but said patient health records or treatment information wasn’t
impacted by the potential breach.
