1 million Corewell Health patients could be impacted by second data breach

About one million Corewell Health patients in southeast Michigan may have had their personal and medical information exposed due to a data breach of a vendor, HealthEC. This is the second data breach within a month of Corewell Health’s vendors, putting at risk patients’ names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and medical details. Michigan’s Attorney General, Dana Nessel, has called for legislative changes, requiring companies to report such breaches. Impacted patients will be offered credit monitoring and identity protection services.
