David Bruce: AHN donor information exposed in ransomware attack
Northwestern Pennsylvanians are among the nearly 300,000 people who received letters recently from Allegheny Health Network, Saint Vincent Hospital s parent organization, informing them that a ransomware attack exposed personal information.
Earlier this year, attackers accessed information stored by Blackbaud, a vendor who maintains the AHN Office of Development s fundraising records and donor database. The exposed data did not include Social Security numbers or credit card or bank account information, AHN said in the letter.
But it did involve names, dates of birth, addresses, business addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.
It also included limited medical information, such as the dates a person received medical trearment at AHN, the medical provider s name and the office or hospital location.
