At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent NorthBay Health data breach. This breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident, which may have affected an unknown number of individuals, potentially exposing sensitive patient information.
A recent report from a website notice stated that NorthBay Health was compromised due to a cyber security attack that was discovered on April 2, 2024 after the hospital experienced temporary disruptions to certain IT systems as a result. NorthBay Health launched an investigation that is still ongoing while some patients reported being turned away due to the necessary systems not being up and running. Data breach letters will be required to be sent out by NorthBay Health informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
