Geisinger alerts patients to data incident involving terminated Nuance employee

Geisinger health system is alerting patients of a data breach from a former employee of Nuance Communications, resulting in potential unauthorized access to personal information including dates of birth, addresses, medical record numbers, and phone numbers. However, no financial or Social Security information was compromised. This highlights a growing vulnerability, the termination gap, where former staff retain access to sensitive data, leading to breaches.
