Description: A ransomware attack occurred against ESO Solutions, a significant software provider for emergency services and healthcare. This incident resulted from unauthorised data access and system encryption across many enterprise platforms. Depending on the information patients have shared with their healthcare providers using ESO's software, a range of personal data was exposed in the hack. Among the compromised data are: complete names dates of birth Numbers to call Numbers for patient accounts and medical records Details of the injury, diagnosis, treatment, and procedure, and Social Security numbers. It was established that patient data connected to U.S. hospitals and clinics that ESO serves as a client was compromised. All notified parties will receive a year of identity monitoring services from Kroll through ESO to assist in reducing risks.

Description: The California Office of the Attorney General disclosed a data breach at **Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center** on **March 11, 2015**, stemming from an incident on **November 1, 2014**. The breach involved the **inadvertent exposure of medical billing records**, affecting an undisclosed number of individuals. Compromised data included **demographic details, billing information, and Social Security numbers (SSNs)**—highly sensitive personal identifiers. While the exact cause (e.g., misconfigured systems, human error, or third-party mishandling) was not specified, the exposure posed significant risks of **identity theft, financial fraud, and reputational harm** to the affected patients. As a healthcare provider, the center’s failure to safeguard such data violated patient trust and potentially violated regulatory frameworks like **HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)**. The breach underscored vulnerabilities in handling protected health information (PHI), though no evidence of malicious exploitation (e.g., ransomware or targeted cyberattack) was reported.
