The notice, filed Dec. 11, says that sensitive information of around 500,000 patients has been compromised, according to a Dec. 27 press release from JD Supra. 

The practice has yet to post a notice of data breach on its website, and what personal information was leaked is not yet known. 

The breach resulted from a “hacking / IT incident” involving a network server, and after learning that sensitive consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party, River Region Cardiology reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
