So 3.5 million patient records, but just $100K to settle the HIPAA breach. With this settlement, perhaps we are now seeing the impact of the new lower HHS penalty tiers. hhs.gov/about/news/2019/05/2….
I guess hackers never take a vacation. Not sure being so cryptic in putting this out there really helps though.
Probably just ruined a lot of Memorial Day vacation plans. Truly massive -- possibly superlative -- sensitive data exposure. More soon.

The lesson here is - investigate quickly when the FBI says you have a breach and properly investigate so you don’t need to walk back initial findings of no PHI exposure. It was this “oops” moment that likely resulted in the hefty settlement.
