BACKGROUND:
Utah Imaging Associates (UIA), a Utah-based radiology center, has announced a data breach affecting 582,170 people after their personal information was exposed. According to the data breach notification sent to affected individuals, the security incident was discovered on September 4, 2021, and was remediated on the same day. However, the initial network infiltration happened on August 29, 2021, allowing the threat actors to explore UIA’s internal systems and potentially steal data for about a week. The subsequent forensic investigation carried out revealed that the unauthorized network intruder had access to patient medical records and social security numbers.
