An investigation ensued on that same day by CentraState, which involved the FBI and a third-party forensics team (CentraState, 2023, para. 2). Information breached included: &#8220;names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance information, medical record numbers and patient account numbers&#8221; and potentially &#8220;physician names and departments, treatment plans, diagnoses, visit notes, and\/or prescription information&#8221; (CentraState, 2023, para. 3). Notable disruption was observed by several news agencies over the new year: CentraState hospital diverting ambulances, attempts to reduce patient volume (including in the ER), and its operations going to pen and paper (Serrano, 2022; LNN Staff, 2023, para. 2). Finally, patients were notified, starting on February 10th, 2023 (CentraState, 2023, para. 5). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Estimated costs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Litigation and &#8220;forensics firm&#8221; costs (News 12 Staff, 2023; CentraState, 2023, para. 2). Identity monitoring. M-F call center (CentraState, 2023, para. 6). Potential lost business from diverting patients and ambulances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Involved laws: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HIPAA and HITECH. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Root cause: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TBA or N\/A (see disclaimer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lessons learned: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TBA or N\/A (see disclaimer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Commentary: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CentraState does not currently specify any news or press releases of the breach on their website (the letter\/PDF was found only in the uploads directory on their web server). JDSupra also removed its news report (JDSupra &amp; Console, 2023). This may be due to ongoing litigation. However, considering the volume of patients involved, there should be a more conspicuous public notice. Lastly, they state: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Events of this nature are affecting an increasing number of companies in the U.S. and around the world, and federal government, law enforcement and industry experts are working in tandem to address this unlawful criminal activity<\/p>\n<cite>(CentraState, 2023, para. 7)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a cybersecurity professional, the placement of this statement at the end of their report appears comical and, per my opinion, does come off as excusatory. I do not think this represents the whole organization, but represents the press writer (who may not even be internal) who wishes to shift attention to other cybersecurity incidents. Custodians of sensitive information, such as medical records, have a duty to protect that information (see HIPAA and HITECH), despite current events. As information comes out, I hope the root cause could be identified so that other hospitals and healthcare entities can use this information to prevent a similar tragedy. Ideally, I desire a CISO or other business\/cyber professional to use this report in a board meeting to secure funding for an appropriate cybersecurity measure, upgrade, or technology and help keep more organizations secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sources: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CentraState.
