Major data breach leaks medical info

A data breach at healthcare company Cigna, which reportedly left 17 billion records of healthcare providers and patients unprotected, has left many vulnerable to cyber theft. The exposed information includes medical facility and doctors’ ID numbers, along with health insurance providers’ negotiated rates for medical services. Individuals can protect themselves by monitoring their medical documents, updating account passwords regularly, and being cautious of unsolicited emails or “free” medical services.
