Uconn Health suffered from a data breach incident after an unauthorized third party accessed employee email accounts, potentially breaching the privacy of 326,000 patients and others. The information compromised includes details such as names, dates of birth, addresses, and billing and appointment information. UConn said it can’t be certain if the unauthorized party viewed or acquired any of the private information. UConn Health said it has sent letters to potentially impacted individuals and also offered free identity theft protection services to the 1,500 whose social security numbers could have been exposed.

The California Office of the Attorney General reported that UConn Health experienced unauthorized access to employee email accounts on August 20 and August 27, 2018, potentially exposing personal information of 504 Rhode Island residents, including names and Social Security numbers. The breach was reported on February 22, 2019.
