Phishing attack on UC Davis Health breaches data on 15,000 patients

A phishing attack at the University of California Davis Health compromised the personal health information of 15,000 patients. An employee responded to a phishing email, giving the hacker access to their email account. The hacker was able to view and potentially obtain patient information, including names, addresses, phone numbers, and in some cases, Social Security numbers and medical records. The health system is evaluating their security measures and offering affected patients free credit monitoring. Government agencies have also been notified about the breach.
